2022 Costers del Priorat 'Pissarres' Priorat

Winemaker Notes: This wine concentrates the world of colors and aromatic sensations that are found when walking along any path in Priorat. Pissarres is the true mirror of the region. Dark red, depth, the energy and wisdom of the selected ‘costers’. The palate is complex. It has ripe fruit, memories of the Mediterranean brushwood and a sharp, cold note which is the characteristic mark of the llicorella slate soils’ extreme minerality.

Pissarres 2022 is composed of 60% garnacha and 40% samsó (carignan) from vineyards planted as far back as 1934 on red llicorella (decomposed slate) atop limestone subsoil.

Grilled meats –lamb, Iberian pork, beef– stand as the ideal harmony of this wine. But there are other less obvious choices. For example, it goes very well with creamy and slightly fat dishes such as mushoom cannelloni, tuna-based stews and classic risottos. Serve chilled for best result.
