2007 - Alemany I Corrió - Sot Lefriec - DO Penedès

Alemany i Corrió is a small, respected Penedès producer working in Cataluña, and Sot Lefriec is their flagship red, a wine that has earned a serious following among those who pay attention to what's happening beyond Rioja and Ribera del Duero. Penedès reds at this level draw on Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and native varieties, typically offering dark fruit, cedar, and a firm but polished structure.

Expect a wine of genuine depth and presence at the table, the kind that suits a rack of lamb or aged Manchego without demanding attention. It holds its own alongside bold Mediterranean flavours and reward a little time in the glass.
