A Pie de Tierra, Fuerza Bruta is a red wine that captures the essence of a location nestled in the Alberche riverbed, on granite alluvium. This delectable 100% Garnacha wine is fashioned in the delicate style of Gredos' most sought-after wines.
The 2022 vintage of Fuerza Bruta has a new image, with an illustration of an ant on the label, highlighting the effort behind the project and that of the winemakers, Aitor Paul and David Villamiel.
The winery's commitment to Garnacha vines, grown sustainably at altitude, lends a pure Mediterranean feel to the wine. The Garnacha vines, situated in the municipality of Aldea del Fresno (Madrid), are between 50 and 90 years old.
WINEMAKING
The Garnacha grapes were manually harvested from leased ecological vineyards. The wine was crafted using sustainable cultivation methods with minimal intervention and tillage. After maceration for 50 days and spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation and was aged in 2,000-litre chestnut barrels and 1,500-litre used foudres for 12 months. It has been bottled unfiltered and unclarified.
