A standout from Joan Asens and his team, Orto Vins' "Orto" Tinto 2022 is a biodynamically farmed, field-blend red from the rugged terrain of Montsant, Catalonia. Composed of 56% Carignan (Samsó), 29% Grenache (Garnacha), 9% Ull de Llebre (Tempranillo), and 6% Picapoll Tinto, the wine benefits from clay, limestone, and schist soils planted between 50–250 m elevation. The grapes undergo native fermentation—70% destemmed, 30% whole-cluster—with 28–29 days on skins, followed by six months aging in well-used French oak.
On the nose, expect fresh red berries, delicate herbs, rosemary, and black plum, evolving toward fig compote and baking spices. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and refreshing acidity, it's a vibrant and structured wine that shows finesse alongside its rustic charm
