Ses Talaioles Sestalino is the little brother of Sestal. This red wine impresses with its freshness and minerality. It is a very rounded, fruity and full-bodied wine.
It can be paired with many dishes, but it is also pleasant to drink on its own.
This red wine owes its minerality to the marine deposits in the deep layers where the vines take root. The imprint of fossil sea rocks adorn the wine label.
The vines are gently treated with natural products, and the soil is carefully cultivated to promote biodiversity, and ensure the resistance and health of the vines.The harvested grapes are stored in cold chambers for up to 12 hours to preserve the aromas and avoid oxidation during processing. The grapes are manually harvested and hand picked.
Sulphites are not used prior to fermentation. Instead, the winemaker uses non- saccharomyces yeasts for fruit enhancement, with the added benefit of lowering the sulphur content in the wine.
Fermentation occurs in inox tanks. An extended maceration is completed 7 days after the end of fermentation. Malolactic fermentation also occurs in inox tanks.
This red wine is aged in 1-year-old French oak barrels for 16 months.
Here's a taste of what you can expect from this wine:
- Colour: Intense red colour with violet reflections.
- Aroma: Fresh aromas of blackcurrants and blackberries and notes of liquorice, mocha and tobacco leaves.
- Palate: Balanced and round on the palate, with fruity aromas of plums and cherries and hints of chestnuts and Mediterranean spices. Mineral notes, multi-faceted body and balanced interplay of acidity, alcohol and tannins.
