Petit Hipperia wine

Petit Hipperia is a red wine produced by the Spanish winery Pago de Vallegarcía, located in the Castilla-La Mancha region. The winery's 50-hectare vineyard, situated at an altitude of 850 meters in the Montes de Toledo area, was granted the status of 'Pago' in 2019, recognizing its exceptional terroir and winemaking practices. The estate's poor, acidic soils and continental climate contribute to the production of mountain wines with distinctive profiles. The Petit Hipperia wine is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot grapes, aged for 12 months in French oak barrels. This aging process imparts a fleshy and balanced character to the wine, with notes of ripe berries, aromatic herbs, and a subtle spicy touch. The wine offers a medium to full-bodied experience with freshness, well-defined acidity, and harmonized oak influence. It is designed to be a lighter yet equally elegant version of its elder sibling, Hipperia, appealing to those seeking a juicy wine with character. The label is designed in collaboration with the artist Roman Ruska, adding an artistic touch to the product. The wine is available for purchase through various retailers, including Decántalo and Vivino, with prices around $27.99 per bottle. It pairs well with dishes such as charcuterie, red meat, and game, making it a versatile choice for various culinary occasions.
