Nobbis 2022: Genuine Expression, Altitude, and Character of an Author's Ribera
Nobbis 2022 Vintage Red Wine 750ml is one of the most acclaimed flagship wines from Bodega Tres Piedras. This young red wine 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 clusters from their goblet-trained vines at an altitude of 830 meters. With careful aging of about 11 months in selected oak barrels, Nobbis 2022 manages to extract the fleshiness and aromatic opulence of Tempranillo grapes 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 Burgos heart of 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 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 gently decant it for 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 from its aging.
What is the ideal serving temperature for this label?
To fully enjoy its volume, creaminess, and fruit 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 the cellar of between 4 and 6 years after its harvest. However, it is currently at an optimal drinking moment where the silkiness of its tannins is most enjoyed.
