Discover Ànima Negra ÀN/2 2024, a Majorcan red wine from Ànima Negra made with indigenous varieties. Fresh, expressive and full of personality, it reflects the Mediterranean character of the Balearic Islands in an authentic and highly enjoyable wine.

Àn/2 2024 is the second wine from the Mallorca-based winery Ánima Negra, a producer devoted to enhancing native Balearic varieties such as Callet, Manto Negro and Fogoneu, the stars of the coupage of this complex, luscious and highly elegant red wine, aged in French and American oak barrels for 12 months.

The grapes come from bush-trained vineyards planted on soils with iron oxide and gravel, a foundation that helps explain the uniqueness of this area. Respectful viticulture and work with local varieties reinforce the link with a Mediterranean landscape of a very distinctive identity.

Ànima Negra, one of Mallorca's most renowned wineries, has made the recovery of native varieties its hallmark. In Àn/2 2024, this philosophy results in a red wine with personality, designed for those seeking authenticity, origin and a faithful expression of the terroir.

Pairing

Ànima Negra Àn/2 funciona muy bien con embutidos ibéricos, unas chuletas de cordero, carrilleras de ternera o pollo asado con hierbas aromáticas. Su perfil mediterráneo también encaja de maravilla con arroces de carne, conejo a la plancha y quesos curados, donde su frescura y sus taninos pulidos acompañan sin imponerse.

Making process

Winemaking

En bodega, la uva se somete a una maceración de entre 15 y 20 días, con el objetivo de extraer color, aroma y estructura sin perder frescura, y la fermentación se desarrolla a una temperatura máxima de 27 °C. El proceso tiene lugar en depósitos de acero inoxidable y en cemento, donde también se realiza la fermentación maloláctica, afinando el conjunto y reforzando el equilibrio final del vino.

Aging

Se cría durante 12 meses en barricas de roble francés y americano, una estancia que le aporta mayor complejidad, volumen y ese fondo especiado y tostado que acompaña su perfil mediterráneo.

Vineyard

Description

Viñas plantadas en vaso, con parcelas que datan de 1952, sobre suelos franco-limosos con abundante óxido férrico y subsuelo de gravas, un entorno que imprime carácter y singularidad al vino. La bodega trabaja con una marcada vocación por la tipicidad mallorquina, en viñedos que expresan con claridad el carácter mediterráneo de la isla.

Viticulture

Viticultura respetuosa de corte tradicional, centrada en el equilibrio natural de la planta y en la identidad del terroir.

Tasting notes

View

Color cereza picota muy madura, oscuro y profundo, con ribetes violáceos, limpio y brillante.

Nose

Despliega una nariz de alta intensidad y gran franqueza, con protagonismo de la fruta roja madura y jugosa, seguida por notas especiadas que aportan profundidad y carácter. A medida que se abre, aparecen matices de hierbas aromáticas y un fondo floral muy sugerente, con recuerdos de rosas y violetas, mientras que en el último plano se dejan sentir unos ligeros tostados de la madera que redondean el conjunto sin restarle frescura.

Mouth

Entrada amplia e intensa y paso sedoso que deja una sensación redonda y muy placentera. Muestra buena acidez, frescura y unos taninos bien integrados que aportan equilibrio y buen esqueleto. Es un tinto sabroso, goloso y con personalidad, de final balsámico y persistente, fiel al carácter mediterráneo de Mallorca.

Creators' opinion

The winery

Ànima Negra
Winery

The Ànima Negra winery is the story of two friends from Mallorca (Miguel Ángel Cerdá and Peré Obrador) who, in 1994, embarked on the foundation of a personal project with the determination to produce high-quality wines using the island's native grape varieties. To achieve this, they transformed a dairy into the space dedicated to winemaking.

Today, Ànima Negra is a benchmark for authentic, personal, and high-quality wines on the island of Mallorca. Their wines now go beyond the borders of the Balearic island, being exported to more than 40 countries worldwide.

Located in the southeast of the island, the winery produces its wines in the old ‘possessió’ of Son Burguera, near the town of Felanitx. The first production took place in this historic building, and from there, the facilities were improved to craft high-quality wines.

They have a vineyard made up of around 150 micro-plots located around the winery, with the exception of 5 vineyards in the western part of Mallorca. They primarily grow old vines of callet, mantonegro, fogoneu, premsali blanc, and giró ros on various types of soil. Later, the grapes are harvested manually.

Ànima Negra's goal is to create genuine wines with a personality that reflects the land where they are made, without artifice, while recovering the island's grape varieties. As they aptly state, “We must carry out oenology in the field, and the winery should only be a temple for preserving the authenticity of the relationship between the plant, the soil, and the climate.”
