What it pairs with
-
Chuletón de buey (aged Galician ribeye)
Caíño Tinto's lean, peppery, high-acid red structure tracks long-aged Galician beef and rosemary char without the oak weight of a Rioja. -
Lamprea a la Bordelesa (lamprey eel in red sauce)
The Miño-river lamprey braised in its own blood demands a red with high acidity and savoury edge: Salnes Caíño Tinto is the local pairing. -
Cocido gallego (Galician boiled-meat-and-veg)
Salnes Espadeiro and Caíño Tinto blends sit at the Atlantic-light end of the red spectrum: they handle the boiled pork and grelos broth without dominating.
