Description
Peiragal is an ancient dialect term that refers to hills with a good slope, composed of large formations of clay and limestone soil, very firm, with large stones. These conditions prevent rain from permeating the ground and lead vines to grow very deep roots, to search for moisture that rises from the deep layers through capillary action. This produces sparse bunches and, therefore, a very structured wine, with moderate acidity, balanced alcohol content and graceful, never-too-prominent tannins.
