Sangarida Mencia Bodegas Attis 2020, DOC Bierzo

The name Sangarida comes from Greek mythology; Attis was the mythical consort of the Great Mother of the Gods, Cibeles. Attis had vowed to be celibate forever in order to serve Cibeles, however he met a nymph called Sangarida, fell in love and broke his oath.

Both Attis and Sangarida were punished but Cibeles resurrected Attis turning him into a pine tree as a symbol of the great mother nature.

This medium bodied Spanish red wine is made from 100% organic Mencia grapes, a low-yielding native grape variety from plots over 50 years old on the slopes of the Montes Aquilianos.

Mencia is characterised by its freshness, red fruits balanced by mineral notes and acidity.
