Ànima Negra ÀN/2

Wine Description

ÀN/2 is a perfect introduction to the wines of Mallorca. This unique red is made from old vine Callet, Mantonegre, Fogoneu and Syrah fermented in a combination of stainless steel and concrete—macerated only briefly to retain the freshness and flavors of the fully ripe fruit. Aged for just over one year in a combination of French barriques and American oak, of which about one-third is new oak.

Acclaim
“The 2009 ÀN/2 is a blend of 65% Callet, 20% Mantonegre and Fogoneu and 15% Syrah aged in one-third French and American new oak. It has a wonderful bouquet of plush red berries, leather and melted tar that is very well defined and seductive. The palate is medium-bodied with soft tannins and lush, mocha-tinged red fruit that is blessed with a satin-like texture from start to finish. This is a lovely Mallorcan red.”
