"The 2022 Unculin is a 100% Mencía from Valtuille de Abajo, Bierzo, that aged one year in oak barrels. Aromas of vanilla, cedar, caramel and balsamic notes lead to a juicy palate with firm yet pleasant tannins and a persistent finish." -Joaquín Hidalgo

"There are many changes in the 2022 Unculín, as it fermented with 100% full clusters in 2,500-, 4,000- and 5,000-liter oak foudres where the wine matured for one year. This has given the wine more nuance and depth, gaining in complexity and harmony. It's more serious and is also dressed with a more formal label; it has contained ripeness and a low 12.8% alcohol, keeping the balance and freshness in this warm year when the wine shows an improvement. It's tasty and has very fine tannins." -Luis Gutiérrez
