Coto de Ibedo, the best rated
The first wine in the ranking is Coto de Ibedo. It is a DO Ribeiro white wine, vintage 2020. Pale yellow in color with intense greenish reflections that indicates the youth of the wine, made with three native grape varieties: Treixadura, Godello and Loureira. A pleasant and very balanced wine, where the fruity notes and the typical acidity of this DO stand out. It pairs very well with white or blue fish, grilled seafood, not very mature cheeses and salads.
It is followed by the Finca de la Cruz. A DO Ribera del Duero red wine, harvest of 2017. Its maturity and evolution are noticeable due to the aging time in the barrel. A balanced wine that stays on the palate and pairs perfectly with roast lamb, game meat and cured cheeses. To finalize his TOP 3, Jon Andoni highlights Volaverunt., a red wine from Pago de Aylés, aged for 6 months in barrels. A wine that presents a medium intensity on the nose, with a sweet and fresh entry on the palate. It can be accompanied with white and red meats, semi-cured cheeses and slightly spicy starters.
