Combating nostalgia


Personally, this is a wine
appropriate to combat nostalgia. When you miss your country, food, family and friends a Ribera del Duero is the perfect cure for this symptoms. Ribera del Duero is one of the most relevant regions in Spain, probably the most important with Rioja and Priorat. Martin Berdugo has a lot of character and flavour, like Spanish people! I love the label, specially the upper part; the 2 red circles with with the red initials, I think they try to highlight the character of this wine. The price has also character, however, is the perfect remedy for home sickness.

I didn't see the stones in the lower part of the label, somebody knows what do they mean??

  1. Las piedras deben querer hacer alusion al suelo. Los ribera del duero son vinos hechos a base de la uva tempranillo, y tienen mayor estructura q los rioja, originalmente porque sangraban los depositos un 10-15%, manteniendo los mismo hollejos, asi concentraban taninos y color. Actualmente se consigue esto con viticultura.
