Togni's "early-drinking" wine

Jose Gil, El Bardallo Size:6x750ml white-pepper-laced finishAs with La Canoca, the 2022 El Bardallo changes from a single vineyard to a paraje (lieu dit) wine and includes more plots in the same place to increase the volume of wine produced.

It's quite fruit driven, aromatic and reminiscent of the old carbonic fermentation reds matured in barrel,
