Clio is a superb red wine.
From the concentrated and penetrating fruit of Cabernet Sauvignon, the herbaceous tones and a spicy point emerge, bringing the smell of mountains and brambles to the varietal combinations of Clio and El Nido, both combined with Monastrell.
Clio is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (70%) and Monastrell (30%). The grapes come from a small 12-hectare Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard and 32 hectares of Monastrell vineyards, very old vineyards that have a very low yield of high quality grapes.
These are vineyards planted around the winery, in the Aragona Valley, with many stones on the surface. At a depth of 30-40 centimetres we find a layer of limestone, and below this a very sandy soil up to where the roots reach in search of nutrients.
The grapes are harvested by hand and transported to the winery in small boxes that prevent the grapes from breaking prematurely. Once in the winery, the grapes are subjected to a selection process.
Clio is a red wine considered already mythical. The result of aging 23 months in new French and American oak barrels. Intense of great concentration with a very intelligent use of the wood where balsamic and mineral notes are not eliminated at any time.

Tasting Notes
CLIO is an intense cherry red wine. Intense nose, with ripe fruit and candied fruit, mixed with sensations of roasted coffee and liquorice that provide finesse and elegance. Power, fleshiness, taste and opulence combine on the palate of this wine, which gradually grows in the bottle.
