Casa Castillo, Pie Franco 2016 Magnum Pet Nat César Marquez Valtuille Vino dePie Franco 2016 Magnum Casa Castillo, DOP Jumilla, Spain 100% Monastrell old vines, 18 month in fudre Parker 96 P 1,5 Liter 15% Alc. Contains Sulphites As I saw with Las Gravas, the only problem with the 2016 Pie Franco is that I tasted it next to the superb 2017. Surprisingly enough, it feels riper than the 2017, when the year was colder and wetter. It has persistent and pungent flavors and is juicy within the dry and stony character of the texture.
