PROTOS
ROBLE MAGNUM
LARGE FORMAT • 1.5 LITERS • RIBERA DEL DUERO
"The pleasure of sharing in a large format: Protos Roble Magnum offers the vitality of the classic 'Roble', enhanced by a slower and more harmonious evolution that only the 1.5-liter bottle can provide."
The Excellence of Size
The **Magnum** format is not just about volume, it's a statement of quality. At Bodegas Protos, the Roble Magnum benefits from more stable aging thanks to its superior thermal inertia. This wine, with its 4 months in barrel, finds in this container the perfect refuge for the Tinta del País to maintain its primary freshness while its tannins round out with an elegance that is surprising in young wines.
