Description
In some forgotten corner of the Baix Penedès, Massimo Marchiori and Antonella Gerosa decided to go against the tide. Italian architects by origin, but winegrowers by visceral vocation, they left the city behind to revive old vineyards that were almost extinct in Catalonia. Their project, Partida Creus, was not born from a business plan but from a powerful intuition: to save the indigenous varieties from oblivion, to vinify them with minimal intervention and to let the terroir speak without filters.
Partida Creus GN Garnacha Negra is a clear example of this radical philosophy. It comes from old vineyards farmed organically, without herbicides or pesticides, where biodiversity rules. The vines grow in calcareous soils poor in organic matter, in a Mediterranean environment of constant breeze and intense sun, ideal for a slow but firm ripening. Here the Garnacha is neither sweet nor voluptuous: it is earthy, electric, a direct reflection of the soil and the craftsmanship that goes into making it.
Winemaking
The grapes, harvested by hand, are gently destemmed to keep the berries intact. They are then subjected to a short maceration of just 3 days, just enough to extract colour, structure and the finest tannins. Fermentation is carried out exclusively with indigenous yeasts, in stainless steel tanks that guarantee a clean and direct expression of the fruit. There are no additives, no corrections. The wine is aged for 8 months in the same stainless steel, followed by a further 5 months in the bottle, refined without haste, without make-up, without distracting wood. It is an austere but precise ageing process that preserves the vibrant freshness of the grapes.
Taste
The first contact with Partida Creus GN Garnacha Negra is almost ethereal: a Garnacha stripped of artifice, with a surprising transparency of fruit and soil. Aromas of sour cherry, wild blueberry and a herbal background of scrubland: dried thyme, fig skin, and some graphite, as if one were smelling hot stones after a summer rain. On the palate it enters with an agile, fresh, almost crisp passage. No heaviness, no residual sweetness. Lively acidity with structure, very fine tannin that caresses without scratching.
On the finish, a saline and slightly bitter note -like black olive skin-prolongs the memory, leaving a juicy, tense and deeply earthy sensation. Minimalist, rural and elegant in its own way, closer to the landscape than to the oenology manual. Ideal for those looking for character without opulence, purity without concessions.
