Project Description
Origins that exude authenticity
Itsasmendi 2017
Late spring budding and a very warm summer for the second year. A longer harvest than normal. The grapes from the second fortnight of the harvest are of a higher quality, in other words they are from the fresher plots. It is a young, fruity and informal txakoli with 12.5º. White fruit, citrus, hay, stone fruit and a slight fennel background. Certainly one of the best vintages in the young Txakoli.
TECHNICAL DATASHEET
Varieties
Made from the indigenous varieties Hondarrabi zuri and Hondarrabi zuri zerratie.
Vineyards and winemaking
The wide range of soils and microclimates of our vineyards planted since 1990, make for a harvest that stretches out over three weeks. Sustainable viticulture and environmentally friendly winemaking stamp their mark on the personality of this Txakoli.
Tasting note
A young, fruit-forward Txakoli, 12% alc., easy drinking. In the mouth it is balanced, fresh and long, with an appealing slight bitterness on the finish, an agreeable characteristic of this variety. An Atlantic wine, reflecting where it is made and our viticultural and wine-making philosophy.
