Itsasmendi Urezti 2020 es un selecto vino dulce fresco y vibrante que se produce con hondarrabi zuri zerratie y un pequeño porcentaje de izkiriot handi. La sobremaduración de las uvas sobre las cepas provoca una pasificación natural y una posterior vendimia tardía amparada por la D.O. Bizkaiko Txakolina, que tiene como consecuencia un delicado vino dulce que destaca por su perfecto equilibrio entre acidez y dulzor.
A la vista, Itsasmendi Urezti luce un color amarillo dorado con reflejos verdosos.
Nariz intensa y fragante donde destacan los aromas a piel de naranja y flores amarillas sobre un fondo tropical, de planta de té y recuerdos mentolados.
En boca es un vino equilibrado con armonía entre la acidez y el dulzor. Un vino dulce, largo, denso, untuoso y persistente, donde se perciben notas de melocotón confitado y mandarina, seguidas de un largo final amielado y con recuerdos a frutos secos.
Creators' opinion
Del mismo estilo que otros vinos hermanos del arco atlántico, los 12% y 93 g/l. de azúcar residual nos brindan un interesante equilibrio entre azúcares y acidez. Una larga crianza en botella proporciona un delicado y complejo vendimia tardía.
Bodegas Itsasmendi is one of the leading wineries in Vizcaya, renowned for its magnificent txakolis. It was back in 1989 when a group of winegrowers decided to join forces to revive the cultivation and production of the traditional Basque white wine. Their collective effort materialized in 1995 with the inauguration of their first facilities in Muskiz, which, with the turn of the new century, specifically in 2002, gave way to the current winery in Gernika.
The 35 hectares of Itsasmendi vineyards are located in an absolutely privileged setting: the mountainous slopes near the Bay of Biscay, part of the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve. Divided into 15 distinct plots, with varying soils and even microclimates, the winery's vineyard is undoubtedly the cornerstone of a project that is among the most authentic, personal, and at the same time, most innovative in the D.O. Bizkaiko Txakolina.
Environmental respect, through sustainable viticulture that always seeks the highest quality, and the use of native varieties such as hondarrabi zuri and hondarrabi zuri zerratia, together with the expertise in the winery, make Itsasmendi's txakolis complex, rich wines in constant evolution and as natural as the spectacular environment from which they originate.
