César Márquez Pico Ferreira
Información sobre este vino:
César Márquez Pico Ferreira is a red wine from Bodegas César Márquez that moves with the reserved elegance of well-born single-vineyard wines: without showiness, but with a personality that asserts itself through depth and character. Its profile corresponds to a precise and refined expression of Bierzo, where fruit, stone and Atlantic air seem to converse with an almost aristocratic naturalness.
In its style, the wine falls into the category of Crianza, with a measured aging that polishes its edges without stealing its nerve. It is a red of serious delicacy, one of those that do not seek immediate applause but rather a slower admiration, like a painting that improves the longer it is contemplated. The hand of the winery is noticeable in the aromatic definition and in a texture that favors finesse over muscle.
The varietal base is dominated by Mencía, accompanied by Alicante Bouschet and other traditional old-vine varieties. The result is a wine of contained roundness, with tension, purity and an almost mineral expression that makes it deeply food-friendly and, at the same time, highly personal.
It comes from a singular vineyard in Pico Ferreira, in Bierzo, with old vines rooted in slate and clay soils at high altitude. That landscape imprints on the wine a feeling of cold air, tension and transparency, as if the mountain left its signature on every sip. The tiny plot and low yields reinforce its concentrated and precise character, while the tradition of the centenary vineyard adds genetic complexity and uncommon depth.
