Atlantic Purity and Silkiness
Attis represents the evolution of contemporary Albariño. Sourced from the Salnés Valley, in the heart of the Rías Baixas, this wine is aged on its fine lees. The result is a liquid architecture where the ocean's electric acidity merges with a glyceric structure and an unusual volume on the palate, solidifying it as a white wine for cellaring with an unmistakable saline personality.
