Nobbis 2022: Genuine Expression, Altitude, and Character of an Author's Ribera
The Nobbis 2022 Vintage Red Wine 750ml is one of Bodega Tres Piedras's most acclaimed calling cards. This red wine with a touch of oak is the result of a project focused on the recovery of traditional sustainable viticulture and the meticulous care of historical plots in Fuentecén. For the 2022 vintage, a rigorous manual selection was carried out directly in the vineyard, collecting only the best bunches from their goblet-trained vines planted at an altitude of 830 meters. With careful aging for about 11 months in selected oak barrels, Nobbis 2022 manages to extract the fleshiness and aromatic opulence of the Tempranillo grape from the high Ribera, maintaining exceptional freshness, roundness, and drinkability.

frequently asked questions (FAQs)
What makes the vineyard where Nobbis 2022 comes from so special?
Nobbis is born in Fuentecén, the heart of Burgos in Ribera del Duero, from family vineyards located at 830 meters altitude. This altitude, combined with clay-limestone soils and a rigorous selection of the top 10% of the harvest's grapes, gives the wine a concentration, tannic balance, and aromatic finesse that are difficult to replicate.
Is it recommended to decant this wine before consumption?
For the 2022 vintage, it is advisable to let it breathe in the glass or decant it gently for about 20 to 30 minutes before serving. This allows the wine to fully open up, releasing its complex layers of ripe red fruit and balancing the subtle toasted nuances of its aging.
What is the ideal serving temperature for this label?
To fully enjoy its volume, creaminess, and fruity notes without the alcohol standing out, it is strictly recommended to serve it between 16°C and 18°C. In warm climates or in the evening, it can be slightly chilled a few minutes before bringing it to the table.
What is the aging potential of Nobbis Tres Piedras 2022?
Thanks to its magnificent structure and balanced acidity, this wine has an excellent aging potential in a cellar of between 4 and 6 years after its harvest. However, it is currently at an optimal consumption moment where the silkiness of its tannins is enjoyed to the fullest.
