Vinaria din Vale 2019 Fetească Neagră Vintage, Moldova

A red wine from Moldova made from 100% Fetească Neagră, the country's national red grape. The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, fermented in temperature-controlled steel tanks and aged for six months in French oak barrels. It comes from the Codru region, where clay and limestone soils and a cool microclimate shape the wine. On the nose there are cherry, blackcurrant, plum and warm spices. The palate is harmonious and well balanced, with ripe dark berries, chocolate and a light toast from the oak. The mouthfeel is full, round and velvety, with a lingering finish.
