The 2021 Cien Y Pico "Doble Pasta" Garnacha Tintorera is a bold and deeply concentrated Spanish red from Manchuela, crafted from old-vine Garnacha Tintorera (Alicante Bouschet). Made using the traditional "doble pasta" method - fermenting the wine with extra grape skins - it delivers exceptional colour, structure and intensity while maintaining freshness from high-altitude vineyards.
The nose is rich and expressive, revealing layers of blackberry, plum and dark cherry, alongside notes of violet, spice, cocoa and subtle herbal hints. On the palate, it is full-bodied and powerful with a dense, velvety texture and ripe, well-integrated tannins. Concentrated dark fruit flavours are balanced by a fresh line of acidity, with hints of licorice, graphite and spice leading to a long, structured and savoury finish.
The style is intense yet balanced - combining raw power with freshness - making it both impactful now and capable of evolving over the next 6–10 years.
