Tasting Notes: The Albarín grape originally from Cangas del Narcea, Asturias, has adapted remarkably well to the plains of León, the wine region for “Tierra de Leon”, where vines are  benefited from many hours of sunshine per year. This factor, and a careful production, both have caused the acidity of this grape Atlantic is less than that occurring in Asturias, with a much wetter climate. In Pardevalles wineries have achieved a very perfumed, balanced, fruity, round wine, the first impression is a strong apricot aroma. Precisely as result of this mix of fruit and balanced acidity, it is obtained a wine that is very witty, very easy to drink, and  persistent at the same time.  A wine that could be very jolly, especially from spring and summer, perfect to drink solo or accompanied too many dishes ranging from pasta, rice or salad, with white meats, seafood or some kind of fish. Excellent quality price ratio. (6-7  € - 9 $). 92/100.
Pairing: Pairing: perfect wine pair with rice, white meats, fish, patés, certain cheeses.
