Arraiano Tinto, Cume do Avia

Producer: Cume do Avia
Area: Ribeiro, Galicia

A real wine family business from the region Eira dos Mouros, Galicia, which is led by the brothers Diego and Alvaro Collarte and their cousins Fito y Anxo. Everything takes place in Ribadavia, (Ribeiro) where the proximity of their land to the Atlantic, the south and west-facing orientation maximize the sun’s heat in an otherwise cold region. The richness of the diverse soils, and the constant whistle of fierce winds that bring in the fresh air and help grapes to stay dry and pest free. It’s an ideal place within this green landscape for their organic and biodynamic practices. Souson, Brancellao, Merenzao, Treixadura, Lado, Caiño Blanco, among many others are the varieties used to craft the beautiful wines.

• Red Wine
• Brancellao, Caiño Longo, Carabuñeira, Garnacha.
