Description
Eduardo Torres Pirrera is a meticulously crafted authentic wine, which comes from an ancient vineyard located at an altitude of 850 metres above sea level. Its main composition is of Nerello Mascalese and other indigenous varieties, grown in a soil rich in volcanic ash and stones.
The name Pirrera originates from the particularly rocky nature of the vineyard, which had been abandoned until Eduardo took over its rehabilitation. The vines average about 50 years old and are harvested at least a week later than the fruit of Versante nord, all this is due to the slower ripening due to the elevation.
Winemaking
Eduardo Torres Pirrera is a wine that is fermented with indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks without temperature control. It undergoes a peculiar cold maceration for 15 days.
The wine is aged for 16 months in an old 750 litre Slovenian oakbarrel; the racking done is minimal in order to preserve the carbon dioxide in the wines and minimise the need for sulphur. It is quite a biodynamic wine as only about a thousand bottles are produced.
Taste
Eduardo Torres Pirrera wine has aromas of red fruits, with floral touches and a clear mineral character. On the palate it is full-bodied and juicy, with a silky tannic texture. It also has a fairly long persistence.
A wine that will win you over
It is a deep and complex wine that wins you over from the first sip and makes you want to enjoy it with friends and other people close to you. This wine can be enjoyed at a business lunch, and you can drink it as soon as it is released on the market, or keep it for a long time to age.
