Frisach Sang de Corb Terra Alta DO 0,75 ℓ

What kind of wine it isSang de Corb by Frisach is an enveloping Spanish red wine, produced in the Terra Alta region with a skilful blend of Garnacha Fina, Garnacha Peluda and Cariñena. This red stands out for its smooth and silky profile, supported by remarkable balance and a pleasurable freshness. The wine’s fine structure maintains the fruit’s vibrant identity, an authentic expression of old vines cultivated using organic farming methods. The lengthy ageing in wood shapes a precise and elegant character, making it a wine of great harmony on the palate.Where it comes fromThe roots of this red sink deep in Corbera d’Ebre, at the heart of Terra Alta, a Spanish area known for its ancient and valuable wine heritage. The grapes originate from mixed parcels with vines over sixty-five years old, managed rigorously according to the principles of organic farming. Careful agronomic work highlights the peculiarities of the terroir, preserving both soil vitality and varietal purity. The result is a true expression of its native landscape, combining assertive structural freshness with the complexity typical of historic vines.How it is producedThe winemaking process starts with rigorous manual harvesting of the bunches, picked at perfect ripeness. The three varieties are processed together in a co-fermentation, a technique that allows for a harmonious integration of aromatic components from the earliest stages. Afterwards, the wine rests for twelve months in oak barrels, a phase during which it acquires a robust structure and greater complexity. This measured wood maturation supports the tannic texture without overwhelming the clarity of the original fruit.Tasting notesIn the glass, the wine displays an intense cherry red colour enlivened with bright garnet highlights. On the nose, it offers an elegant and defined bouquet characterised by aromas of ripe red fruits and delicate hints of violet, interwoven with sweet spices and subtle toasted notes derived from the wood. On the palate, it reveals a soft and silky mouthfeel, accompanied by excellent acidity that adds lift to the sip. The tasting concludes with a long, enveloping finish that leaves a pleasant fruity trace.Food pairingsThe softness and solid framework of this red make it the ideal partner for dishes rich in flavour and succulence. It pairs perfectly with cuts of grilled red meat, tasty roasts and game-based preparations, enhancing its structured body. It is also well suited for accompanying boards of hard, aged cheeses, as it balances the food’s savouriness with its own rounded fruitiness. Excellent with classic roast lamb, it creates a harmonious tasting experience and accentuates the dish’s spicy intensity.When to serve itThis red embodies the ideal choice for structured dinners, offering impeccable balance and a clear aromatic profile. Its natural inclination to accompany intense menus makes it perfect for Sunday lunches or evenings dedicated to tasty meat dishes. Barrel ageing ensures a stable texture and smooth drinkability, capable of evolving beautifully in the glass throughout the meal. It is the right bottle for those seeking fruity elegance, combining refreshing acidity with enveloping flavour depth.
