What it pairs with

With cheese

Garrotxa Our pick Four years or more on the lees give these Xarel·lo-led Corpinnat Brut Nature wines a savoury, lees-rich depth that meets Garrotxa's buttery paste and damp-cellar rind, while high acidity and a fine bead refresh the goat's milk. Formatge serrat Our pick Five years or more on the lees give these zero-dosage Corpinnat wines a savoury, autolytic depth that suits a mature pressed cheese, while the bone-dry palate, high acidity and fine bead cut the fat of a serrat.

Frequently asked about Enoteca Brut Nature

What does Gramona Enoteca taste like?

Honeyed nut, tarte tatin, white truffle and fine lees on the nose; saline minerality, a creamy long bead, intense autolytic notes and an elegant finish on the palate. Medium-bodied with high acidity and a long savoury finish.

When should I drink Enoteca?

Drink between 5 and 30 years from vintage. The 180-month-plus lees ageing has already delivered enormous tertiary complexity; cellaring further deepens the honeyed-nut and truffle register.

How long is Enoteca aged?

Over 180 months (15 years) on lees in bottle as a single-disgorgement library release. Sealed with natural cork during tirage; manually disgorged when ready for release in exceptional vintages.

What food pairs with Enoteca?

Aged Iberian Bellota ham 5J, truffled risotto, aged Comte 36 months and suckling pig with apple. The 180-month lees tertiary register rewards the most serious savoury cooking with umami.
