Elaboration and Grape Varieties

The name “Baelo 12” refers to the ancient Roman city of Baelo Claudia, an important commercial enclave in the area. The Claudio Romano winery is dedicated to recovering and modernizing the region’s winemaking tradition.

• Grapes: The wine is a blend of Syrah and Petit Verdot varieties. Both are varieties of French origin that have adapted very well to the warm climate of the province of Cadiz, where they develop a powerful and fruity character.

• Aging: The wine is aged for 12 months in French and American oak barrels, which adds complexity, structure and spicy notes without masking the fruit.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: It has a very intense cherry red color with violet hues, denoting its youth and concentration.

• Nose: The nose is very expressive and complex. Aromas of ripe red and black fruits, such as blackberry and cherry, mingle with spicy notes from aging, such as vanilla, clove and toast.

• Palate: The palate is powerful, full-bodied and with ripe, well-integrated tannins. The acidity is balanced and the finish is long and persistent, leaving a pleasant memory of ripe fruit and spices.
