"Albino is a Blanc de Noirs, sold as a ros,, that's made with direct-pressed Ca¡¤o Tinto fromCastrelo. Stainless steel fermented before ageing in older French wood, it has engaging pearand wild strawberry flavours, a hint of colour and a touch of pepper spice. 2024-28"

"The non-DO blanc de noirs 2023 Albino has a copper color and a perfumed nose with notions of dried rose petals and talcum powder, a little balsamic, perfumed and attractive. The red varieties tend to ripen less, and this has only 11.5% alcohol, keeping a low pH (3.16) and notable acidity, 7.2 grams. It finishes vibrant and tasty. It matured in oak barrels for eight months. It was bottled in May 2024. 2,666 bottles produced."

"Offered in a 1.5-liter bottle, the 2023 Albino Tinto is a Blanc de Noirs-style wine made with old vine Caino Tinto, essentially a red wine made like a white with added pressure. There's no skin contact, and the grapes spend time in both stainless and neutral barrel. There's a steely texture to the wine, with aromas of charcuterie and funky earth followed by light layers of tart cranberry and grapefruit. Not made every year, it's definitely worth a try. Drink now and for the next 5-7 years."
