Ribera del Duero DO Triennia 2020 Portia

What kind of wine it is

Triennia di Portia is a red wine produced in the renowned Ribera del Duero appellation, made exclusively from Tempranillo grapes grown in the Pago Carronda vineyard. This wine stands out for its structured and complex profile, in which power and elegance coexist thanks to careful winemaking management. The malolactic fermentation carried out in French oak barriques helps define a bold personality, making it a true expression of its terroir and ensuring remarkable longevity.

Where it comes from

The grapes are grown in the Pago Carronda vineyard, located at an altitude between 900 and 950 meters—an essential factor that imparts vibrancy and freshness to the wine. The Ribera del Duero terroir in this specific area provides favorable climatic conditions and low yields, allowing for the harvest of top-quality fruit. The altitude and soil characteristics contribute to a wine full of energy and a great capacity for evolution, reflecting the unique identity of its origin site.

How it is produced

The production process starts with a rigorous grape selection, followed by alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature of 28 °C to preserve aromatic precision. Malolactic fermentation occurs in wood, immediately adding a spicy component to the wine's structure. The aging continues for 12 months in new barriques, followed by a further period of 25 days in different casks—a technique chosen to increase complexity without overpowering the fruit's varietal character.

Tasting notes

Visually, it displays a cherry-red color with ruby reflections and a very high chromatic concentration. The bouquet is intense and refined, with notes of ripe and dried fruit such as plum and apricot, enriched with hints of licorice and cocoa. On the palate, the wine is broad and fleshy, supported by a savory texture and powerful tannins that are well integrated, closing with a long and persistent finish.

Food pairings

This red pairs perfectly with desserts based on dark chocolate, especially when accented with a hint of salt to enhance its depth of flavor. It is equally suited for rich meat main courses, such as chops grilled on vine shoots, where the smoky notes complement its structure. Its richness also makes it ideal for traditional dishes like roast meats or slow-cooked game.

When to serve it

Triennia is a wine suited for occasions that call for a full and defined profile, capable of offering an aromatic complexity that evolves in the glass. Thanks to its balanced acidity and solid tannic structure, it has excellent aging potential and is also enjoyable after years of cellar ageing. For maximum appreciation of its breadth and finesse, serve it patiently, allowing the wine to reveal all its nuances in the glass.
