General Information
Vilosell 2023 is a sensational red wine born from the blend of the varieties tempranillo, syrah, and garnacha, cultivated at an altitude of 712 meters above sea level. For its production, manual harvesting is carried out in boxes with a strict grape selection and subsequent cooling of the whole berries. During vinification, the grapes undergo cold pre-maceration, followed by fermentation and maceration in 10,000-liter tanks at controlled temperature. Subsequently, the wine undergoes 9 months of aging in French oak barrels and 3 months of aging on lees in underground concrete tanks.
The winery Tomàs Cusiné is the personal project that Tomàs Cusiné launched in 2003 with the goal of producing characterful wines that reflect the expression of the territory, utilizing his extensive knowledge of the D.O. Costers del Segre. Over the years, the winery has continued to carefully work the vineyard with precision winemaking. Tomàs Cusiné owns 30 hectares of vineyards, which are cultivated in an ecological and sustainable manner.
With these environmentally friendly techniques certified by CCPAE, this Vilosell 2023 is produced, a wine under the D.O. Costers del Segre, which pairs ideally with roasted pork dishes, grilled lamb, stews, meat-based rice dishes, cured sausages, and semi-cured cheeses.
