Tasting - Attis Alberino '21


Name: Attis Alberino
Variety: Alberino
Region: Galicia
Country: Spain
Year: 2021
Price: $37

Winery Review:  Tasty, powerful and round, with a wonderful perfectly integrated acidity. Great aromatic persistence. A complete wine: elegant and delicious, harmonious and complex. Long potential of ageing. [1]

Wine Folly: One of Spain’s champion whites that grows best in the cooler climates of Rias Baixas (Rhee-yus By-shus). You’ll note wines become richer and more grapefruit-driven (vs. citrus and saline) from the inland areas, where there are more clay-based soils. [2]

My Review: The alberino tasted slightly salty with hints of lime. The smell was strong with cream and olive or green grape. I tasted this wine with Chilean sea bass and the best I can describe this wine is if the sea bass is the fish then the wine is the ocean.
