The wine
El Bruto 2022 is a red wine from the Jumilla Designation of Origin, produced by Bruto Vinícola S.L. in collaboration with the renowned Juan Gil family, the actor Imanol Arias and the creative Jorge Martínez. This single-varietal Monastrell comes from vineyards over 60 years old located 800 metres above sea level. After ageing for 24 months in French and American oak barrels, it has an intense red colour and deep aromas of ripe black fruits, with hints of coffee, dark chocolate and toasted notes. On the palate, it is robust, with firm tannins and a long finish. It is recommended to decant it for two hours before serving.
