Tasting Notes: 

A high quality, modern Priorat, clean, and elegant. Excellent concentration of rich dark fruits, minerals, and spices; fresh and warm; deliciously rich flavors. Unctuous tannins with long and spicy persistent notes on the finish.

La Basseta is, with no doubt, the most feminine wine in their range. A very complex and fine wine, marked by the intensity of the fruit blended and its minerality, which gives it a long and silky finish.

Food Suggestion: Especially red grilled meats, rich meats like lamb and duck, and game.
