Note di degustazione
The bottle of the 2022 Viña El Pisón I tasted also delivers even more than the unbottled sample I tasted last year. It's elegant, perfumed and floral, like a more powerful version of San Lázaro. It has a medium to full-bodied palate with very fine and chalky tannins, the elegance of Laguardia and the finesse of this specific plot. 2022 was the first year that they increased yields, and the wine is quite expressive, open and balanced. It has 14.64% alcohol, a pH of 3.62 and 4.78 grams of acidity. There are 6,000 bottles of this. It was bottled in June 2024.

The 2022 El Pisón is a benchmark for site-expressive Rioja, even though Artadi no longer belongs to the appellation. This edition displays heightened aromatic clarity and an energetic palate. Purple in hue, the nose offers cherry and plum with undergrowth, wax and refined fruity tones. Light in body yet energetic, the flow is ethereal and driven by fine, active tannins. The lingering flavors continue to feel weightless. Even in a warm year, the site retains its identity, delivering balance through clarity of fruit and a nimble structure. This will evolve beautifully in bottle. The 2022 is a clear reminder of the need to recognize individual villages and vineyards.
Vina El Pison has been delivering persistent greatness over the past eight years, and the magic of this vintage rests with its complexity, which is all about purity of immaculate fruit. The wine is minerally and complete, with impeccable powdery tannins that seamlessly coat the palate. It is bright, vibrant, floral and almost fruity, but still a bit timid on the nose. The palate shows what it is capable of, with melted, dissolved tannins and a long, minerally finish without much adornment. From organically grown grapes. Tasted twice, including a blind tasting against El Carretil, San Lazaro and La Poza de Ballesteros. It still stood out. Drink or hold.
