Vermut La Alegre Carmela Rojo

Bodegas Sampayolo

Petín , España

Overall impression

La Alegre Carmela Red completes the vermouth pair of Bodegas Sampayolo in Petín (D.O. Valdeorras): while the white rests on Godello and Palomino, the red uses the winery's Mencía from the family bodega founded by Javier García in 2002. Small-batch artisan vermouth with Valdeorras character and fruity-tannic aperitivo profile.
