Figuero Asomo 4

Figuero Asomo 4 Tempranillo is produced by Bodegas Figuero, a family-owned winery located in La Horra, within Spain's prestigious Ribera del Duero wine region.

The winery's history is closely connected to the García Figuero family, whose dedication to viticulture has been passed down through generations. The vineyards benefit from a continental climate, with hot summers, cold winters and significant temperature differences between day and night.

Made entirely from Tempranillo, locally known as Tinto Fino, the wine is crafted from carefully selected grapes harvested by hand.

The winemaking process involves gravity-assisted handling and fermentation to preserve the grapes' natural fruit characteristics. The wine is subsequently matured in oak barrels to develop additional structure, complexity and subtle spice notes.

The wine displays a vibrant cherry-red colour with brilliant ruby reflections.

The nose is fresh and expressive, revealing aromas of ripe raspberries, strawberries, blackberries and cherries, complemented by delicate notes of black pepper, liquorice and subtle toasted oak.

On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with smooth, velvety tannins and refreshing acidity. Layers of ripe red berries and dark fruits unfold harmoniously, accompanied by gentle spice and mineral undertones.

The finish is balanced, fruity and pleasantly persistent, showcasing the freshness, elegance and approachable character of Ribera del Duero Tempranillo.

An excellent accompaniment to grilled and roasted meats, particularly beef, lamb, pork and traditional Spanish barbecue.

It also pairs beautifully with Spanish tapas, roasted chicken, pasta dishes, paella and hearty meat stews.

The wine's velvety tannins and fruit-forward character make it particularly suitable for semi-hard and mature cheeses, including Manchego, Gouda and aged Cheddar.

For Chinese cuisine, it pairs well with black pepper beef, roasted pork, cumin lamb, braised beef and savoury mushroom dishes.
