The 2022 Villa de Corullón is a masterstroke of terroir expression—a symphonic blend of the village’s most esteemed crus, including Moncerbal, Las Lamas, San Martín, Fontelas, Ferro, and others. Sourced from vines aged 60 to 100 years, this wine stands as a benchmark for both Bierzo’s potential and the refined craftsmanship of Álvaro and Ricardo Palacios.

From the first swirl, it enchants the nose with a chorus of fresh red and black fruits, seamlessly entwined with wild herbal notes: garden thyme, wild mint, and sage. These aromatics lift the wine with natural vibrancy, suggesting both altitude and finesse.

On the palate, there’s a delicate concentration of cranberry and blueberry, backed by a hint of red apple brightness. A focused line of slate-like minerality adds backbone, while fine, grainy tannins melt into a finish that is both juicy and faintly savoury, elegant and enduring.

Food Pairing
A wine of this nuance pairs beautifully with slow-cooked lamb shoulder, roast duck with herbs, or even a wild mushroom risotto. Elegant yet robust, it also shines alongside aged cheeses or lentil-based dishes with Mediterranean herbs.
