2016 - Alemany i Corrió - Cargol Treu Vi - DO Penedès

Alemany i Corrió is a small, quality-focused estate in DO Penedès, Catalonia, working with indigenous varieties and a clear commitment to terroir-driven winemaking. Cargol Treu Vi, the name is a Catalan idiom meaning roughly 'snail draws wine', sits firmly in the serious, artisan end of the appellation.

Penedès reds of this character tend to run with firm, Mediterranean structure: dark fruit, earthy depth, and enough acidity to handle food well. On board, pair with lamb, aged cheeses, or robust Catalan-influenced dishes where the wine's backbone can meet the plate head-on.
