Xion Albariño 2024
D.O. Rías Baixas • Salnés Valley 750ml
"The vibrant essence of the Atlantic: an artisanal Albariño that captures the freshness of the Salnés Valley, offering a perfect balance between fruit intensity and mineral elegance."
Glyceric Purity from Salnés
Xion Albariño 2024 is the dynamic interpretation of Attis Bodega y Viñedos. Unlike conventional young whites, Xion benefits from 3 to 4 months of lees aging, giving it an enveloping structure and a silky texture. It is a wine that speaks of the sea, granite, and the Galician breeze, maintaining that citrus "electricity" that defines the best examples from Salnés.
