Description
Introducing the Cien Y Pico Doble Pasta Manchuela Garnacha Tintorera 2021, a distinguished red wine originating from the sun-kissed vineyards of Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. This exceptional wine is a creation of four passionate winemakers who were driven to preserve ancient Garnacha Tintorera vines, which leads to a careful crafting of wines characterized by their bold flavors and vibrant character.
The 2021 vintage showcases an opaque purple color, and its full-bodied nature is enhanced by a captivating nose of:
- Ripe blackberries
- Succulent damsons
- Subtle spice and fresh earthiness
- Hints of blueberries and dark cherries
- Faint touch of smoky cinders
On the palate, the experience unfolds with:
- A dense, plush mouthfeel
- Layers of ripe black cherry and plum
- Smoky graphite and spicy undertones
- Firm, finely-grained tannins
- A lingering savory finish with echoes of dark pepper and mineral notes
The finish of this wine is a luscious tapestry, weaving:
- Rich dark chocolate and licorice notes
- Subtle black pepper spice
- Smooth, persistent tannins
- Soft herbaceous whispers
This wine is best served slightly chilled at 14-16°C to harmonize its flavor intensity and to soften the tannins. Ideal for a variety of lively occasions, consider the following serving suggestions:
- Accompany with grilled Iberian pork skewers glazed in smoky pimentón sauce
- Pair with roasted chorizo-stuffed peppers for a delightful flavor connection
- Assemble a rustic tapas board with aged Manchego, piquillo peppers, Marcona almonds, and Membrillo (quince paste)
- Use in a red wine reduction glaze for roasted game birds such as quail or squab
- Mix with sparkling water and a slice of blood orange for a refreshing wine cocktail
- Incorporate into a cheese fondue by adding a splash, infused with smoked paprika
- Serve during autumn gatherings with spiced blue cheese-stuffed figs wrapped in prosciutto
Experience the rich heritage and vibrant personality of Cien Y Pico Doble Pasta Manchuela Garnacha Tintorera 2021 as it takes you on a delightful journey through the heart of Spanish winemaking.

Storage advice
For storing red wine maintain an optimal temperature between 55°F and 65°F (13°C to 18°C) avoiding fluctuations to prevent premature aging or muted flavors. Store the bottle in a dark environment shielding it from direct sunlight and fluorescent light to prevent UV-induced degradation. Maintain humidity around 50% to 70% to keep the cork moist preventing air ingress; use a humidifier or dehumidifier as needed based on local climate. Keep the bottle horizontally to keep the cork in contact with the wine which prevents the cork from drying out and sealing failure.
For unopened bottles these conditions preserve quality and allow optimal aging. Once opened limit the wine's exposure to oxygen by resealing tightly with the original cork a wine stopper or vacuum seal to reduce oxidation and store the bottle upright in a cool dark place. Ideally consume opened red wine within 3–5 days to maintain flavor and aroma integrity.
