Gatta Mormigliana 2017 - Vinos Ambiz

Gatta Mormigliana - Vinos Ambiz

La Gatta Mormigliana by Vinos Ambizè is a pleasant and earthy red wine made from 100% Tempranillo that grows on the vineyards of El Tiemblo. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts and without temperature control in used 500-liter barrels. The must remains in contact with the skins for a period of ten days. Aging takes place in used chestnut barrels for twelve months. After bottling it remains in the cellar to rest for a month. Definitely more funky than what you would expect from a Tempranillo. Watch out for the cat!

Service

We taste it at a temperature around 16/18 ° C. Wine to be drunk immediately but left a few years in the cellar can give great satisfaction.

Pairings

It goes perfectly with meat-based main courses. Excellent with a fillet with mushrooms.

Winery: Vinos Ambiz

Vinos Ambiz is located in the village of El Tiemblo, in the Sierra de Gredos region, fifty minutes from Madrid, a region characterized by the classic continental climate with soils, on average between 650 and 800 meters above sea level, rather poor in organic matter, steep and with crumbling granite, covered with sand and clay. Generally the wines of Gredos have a good minerality thanks also to the thermal excursions that favor a beautiful intense Garnacha. Behind Vinos Ambiz we find Fabio Bartolomei, of Italian origin was born and raised in Glasgow, Scotland where his family originally from the province of Lucca emigrated. He has lived in Spain for about 20 years and is a self-taught wine, as well as a one man band. It owns a few hectares of property, but otherwise boasts consolidated relationships with old local winemakers for which it controls the vineyards and the harvest. His back labels are a manifesto of his idea of ​​making wine, without the help of pesticides, chemical fertilizers or synthetic products and without then clarification or filtering.
