General Information
The wines from La Casa Maguila taste like bolero, and Angelitos Negros 2022 is a sweet, harmonious wine with pleasant sensations. This young red wine offers the best of the fruit and a measured winemaking process that provided it with pleasant toasted and spicy notes, as well as a fresh and creamy finish.
Made 100% from tinta de Toro grapes from vineyards between 10 and 40 years old, Angelitos Negros embodies the spirit of the family winery based in Venialbo (Zamora), which combines organic and biodynamic viticulture, innovation, originality, and tradition. The creation process of this magnificent red wine included selecting the best fruits from their Las Tijeras estate, fermenting 30% of the whole berries at a controlled temperature, pressing them at low pressure, and after moderate stabilization, culminating in bottling.
La Casa Maguila is the personal project of Jesús Peña, a commercial director turned viticulturist and winemaker, who in 2009 decided to value his family's winemaking tradition and set out to make his own wines. He chose the family nickname of Maguila, which was once carried by his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, and with their old vineyards and the wisdom and experience of renowned enologists Pepe Hidalgo and Ana Martín, he began to bring to light creations that are irresistible to the public for their freshness, fruity character, and modern profile, much like the timeless boleros he is fond of. Angelitos Negros 2022 (D.O. Toro) is one of his latest proposals, a red wine perfect for enjoying with all kinds of appetizers, tapas, and pinchos, but also with white and red meats and traditional dishes like fried eggs with ham.
Creators' opinion
Angelitos Negros is a garnet red wine with violet hues. Intense and pleasant aromas of ripe black fruit well integrated with a rich variety of floral, toasted, and spicy notes. On the palate, it is sweet and fruity, with a creamy and fresh passage. Pleasant fruity sensations appear, combined with fine dairy and toasted notes. Long and persistent finish.
The winery
Winery
La Casa Maguila es la materialización de un proyecto familiar. La bodega, asentada en el término zamorano de Venialbo, fue fundada en 2009 por Jesús Peña, un director comercial reconvertido en tiempo récord en respetado viticultor y bodeguero. El nombre de la firma es un homenaje a su padre, a su abuelo y a su bisabuelo, el primero que recibió el apodo “Maguila” en su pueblo natal de la provincia de Cáceres.
La firma cuenta con 14 hectáreas de viñedo viejo de tinta de Toro, de baja producción, ubicadas en la finca Las Tijeras. Un patrimonio envidiable, trabajado de acuerdo a criterios ecológicos y biodinámicos y bajo la dirección enológica de los reputados José Hidalgo y Ana Martín,que da como fruto espléndidos vinos, con nombre de bolero (Quizás, Cachito Mío o Angelitos Negros), realmente sorprendentes y fáciles de beber.
