The D.O.P. Cangas is a small production area unknown to the public but experiencing an interesting resurgence thanks to wines like Vive la Vida 2021. Bodega VidAs, a young and cutting-edge Asturian winery, presents one of its newest and most appealing offerings by recovering the native varieties albarín negro, carrasquín, and verdejo negro. The location of the vineyards on mountainous slate soils, with slopes exceeding 30%, endows this wine, the result of heroic viticulture, with a unique personality. Surprising, with a marked Atlantic character and very limited production.

Vive la Vida presents an attractive cherry red color with subtle pinkish hues. The intensity is medium and shows a long and dense tear, hinting at good structure.
On the nose, it is very expressive from the first moment. Aromas of red fruits and liqueur-like nuances stand out, accompanied by a marked balsamic and herbal character. All of this is integrated over a very subtle spicy background, with delicate notes of vanilla.
The entry on the palate is pleasant and silky. The passage is fresh, smooth, and sweet, with a light body, balanced acidity, and fine, well-integrated tannins. The aftertaste is long and flavorful, evoking candied ripe fruits and soft spices.
