"The super young and tender Verdejo 2023 Cucú is their regional white that mixes places and soils, using organic grapes only from the zones of Segovia and Valladolid. It fermented in stainless steel and some 10% in used 300-liter barrels to give it some more complexity and unctuosity. There is a pulse of freshness, but it's also ripe and has 13.5% alcohol. It's very young, tender and varietal, getting away from fermentative aromas and, of course, yeasts, as they want to show the zone and the variety (and the year). It has some medicinal and balsamic notes from the youth, and underneath is the core of white flowers and fruit. It has volume and structure but is still fresh, light and easy to drink; it has the classical Verdejo bitter twist in the finish. They picked the grapes quite early in La Seca, and Segovia was much later."
Winemaker Notes:
"Barco del Corneta's younger brother is a regional wine, with part of the grapes coming from La Seca, where more structured wines are produced, and part from Aldeanueva del Codonal in Segovia, which provides more freshness, acidity, and floral aromas. Each year, approximately 25% of the wine is fermented and aged in 300-liter French oak barrels. It is certified organic."
Alcohol: 13.5%
