Attis Atalante
“The Caíño Blanco variety perfectly represents the duality of Atalanta, the lioness who guided Attis’s chariot in mythology. On one hand, it reflects the freshness, delicacy, and floral character of the young woman from the myth; on the other, it shows the intensity and strength of the lion into which she transformed. This light and aromatic wine stands out for its good acidity, complemented by the complexity and volume imparted by its aging in oak barrels. It is ideal for pairing with flavorful seafood, meaty-textured fish, and creamy, intense cheeses.

WINE TASTING
A very complex wine, white flowers and very mineral on the nose, fresh and delicate. On the palate, a keen acidity and minerality, a silky lingering finish.
This wine exhibits the long potential to ageing that we can obtain with this variety and the wonderful and pleasant aromas.
