Pedro Martinez Alesanco Reserva 2017
Introduction
This red wine originates from Spain, specifically from the Rioja DOCa region within the subregion of Rioja Alta. Bodegas Pedro Martinez Alesanco is a family winery based in the village of Badarán, one of the coldest zones in Rioja Alta, where they cultivate vineyards at altitudes between 650m and 750m. The winery's philosophy centres on a deep commitment to terroir and the use of indigenous Rioja varieties, particularly pioneering the recovery of the minority variety Maturana Tinta.
Wine Description
Pedro Martinez Alesanco Reserva 2017 displays a garnet red colour with ruby hues and an intense pigmentation. The nose is expressive and evolves slowly in the glass, revealing aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants, and ripe cherries layered with balsamic hints and delicate vanilla notes from the wood. On the palate, the wine is medium to full bodied and elegant, offering a succulent core of blueberries and cherries integrated with firm, fine grained tannins. It is characterized by its remarkable balance, refreshing acidity, and a long finish that lingers with notes of spices and mineral undertones. This wine is a blend of 90% Tempranillo and 10% Garnacha, having spent 18 months in French oak barrels followed by 26 months of bottle ageing before release. The ABV is 14%, and while the winery focuses on local varieties and natural vineyard management, the wine is not certified organic. The optimal drinking window is from 2024 through 2030.
Food Pairing
The complex structure and savoury oak notes of this Reserva make it an ideal companion for a variety of meat centric dishes. It pairs perfectly with roast lamb, beef tenderloin, or veal, as the wine's tannins and acidity cut through the richness of the meat. It also complements Middle Eastern dishes like meat sambousek and can be enjoyed alongside aged cheeses or hearty stews.
