"The 2021 Fusco was produced with Menc¡a from the north of Ribeira Sacra, from many small plots all in the zone of Chantada and Mi¤o on granite and clay soils. The destemmed grapes have a long maceration (15 to 30 days, depending on the year). It matured in stainless steel and was bottled unoaked, looking for freshness and drinkability. It has 13% alcohol with good freshness and a fruit-driven, primary profile with juicy fruit. 12,000 bottles were produced."

"There is a note of dry hay and esparto grass in the 2022 Fusco, which made me think of some wines from Douro in Portugal, with some hints of raisins, reflecting more ripeness despite the labels showing the same alcohol, 13%, in the 2021 and 2022 vintages. It's ripe and a bit heady."
