Valcanto is produced by Bodegas Piqueras, founded in 1915 by Mario Bonete, one of the driving forces behind the creation of Almansa DO. In south-east Spain (100 kilometres inland from Valencia.) Today, Mario’s sons look after the estate, with the goal of producing eminent wines at fantastic prices. The estate is situated at 700-800 metres altitude with an extreme continental climate, low rainfall and limestone-rich soils which are managed using organic farming methods… perfect conditions for low yielding, slow ripening vines which produce rich, ripe, bold red wines of excellent concentration and quality.

Sourced from hand-harvested, 25-30 year-old, organically-farmed vines Valcanto is a pure, intense, elegant expression of Syrah with delicious, natural acidity and is aged in fine-grained 300l American oak hogsheads for 6 months to give a gentle, creamy texture. This wine massively over delivers for the price. It is a perfect accompaniment to rich meat and cheese dishes and will age well 2-4 years in the bottle.

Food Pairing: Enjoy this award-winning wine simply by itself or accompanied by tapas, roasted or grilled meat.
