Poured into a Bordeaux glass, this red wine from Uruguay reveals wonderfully complex aromas of blackberry, plum jam and violet, rounded out by other fruity nuances.

The Ombú Tannat Classico from Bracco Bosca is just right for all wine lovers who like it dry. However, it is never sparse or brittle, but round and smooth. On the palate, the texture of this balanced red wine is wonderfully fleshy. Due to the balanced fruit acidity, the Ombú Tannat Classico flatters with a soft palate feeling, without lacking freshness. On the finish, this wine from the Canelones wine-growing region, which can be stored well, finally delights with good length. Once again, hints of violets and blackberries appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the soils dominated by clay are added.

Vinification of the Ombú Tannat Classico by Bracco Bosca

The basis for the balanced Ombú Tannat Classico from Uruguay are grapes from the Tannat grape variety. The grapes grow near the sea in Canelones. The vines here dig their roots deep into soils of clay. Due to the moderating influence of the nearby sea, the grapes ripen more slowly and develop more aromatic complexity. The grapes for this red wine from Uruguay are harvested exclusively by hand, at the time of optimal ripeness. After the harvest, the grapes reach the winery by the fastest route. Here they are selected and carefully broken up. Fermentation follows in concrete at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by aging on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled.
