About Recóndita Armonía 37,5 cl

In Puccini's opera "Tosca", the painter Cavaradossi sings the aria "Recondita armonia" as he realises how the beauty of his beloved and the woman in his painting, though so different, harmonise perfectly. Inspired by this very idea, Gutiérrez de la Vega names his wines with a musical soul. At his winery in Parcent (Alicante), Gutiérrez perceives winemaking as an art where the power of the Mediterranean sun and artisanal delicacy converge. Recóndita Armonía is the culmination of this quest. A sweet wine where the concentration of fruit and the freshness of the land complement each other without cloying.

From the municipality of Parcent, in the Marina Alta region and under the distinction of the DOP Alicante, this wine is a faithful reflection of a land shaped by the sea breeze. The grapes are sourced from select plots where old vines grow on sheltered slopes. The soils are clay-limestone in nature, with a notable presence of limestone that helps retain the scant moisture from the subsoil. The climate is distinctly Mediterranean, characterised by warm summers, mild winters, and exceptional brightness throughout the vegetative cycle. The undisputed star is the monastrell variety, the great native grape of the area. An artisanal viticulture respectful of the environment is practised, allowing the grape clusters to overripen and shrivel on the vine before being hand-harvested.

For the production of Recóndita Armonía, the winery follows a procedural approach where human intervention respectfully accompanies the grape. Once the overripened clusters, rich in natural sugars, are handpicked, the grapes are destemmed, meaning the berries are separated from the green structure or stem to avoid bitter flavours. The alcoholic fermentation begins spontaneously in stainless steel tanks. As it is a natural sweet wine, the fermentation is precisely halted by the addition of wine alcohol while there is still a high concentration of sugar from the fruit itself. Subsequently, the wine undergoes an extended ageing of 20 months in French and American oak barrels before resting for years in the silence of the winery to refine.

Recóndita Armonía is a majestic, enveloping sweet wine with lyrical complexity. A sip that proves natural sugar and acidity can coexist in unforgettable harmony.
