Red wine from the Ribas winery, under the D. O. Binissalem. The grapes are manually harvested and selected berry by berry. Fermented and aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, half new and half second year, from Ribas de Cabrera.
This wine made mainly with Mantonegro from old vines was created as a tribute to our grandmother Sió (or Concepció), who supported the modernization of the winery by her daughters a little more than 3 decades ago. Our priority is to achieve the balance of the wine from the vineyard. The Mantonegro variety stands out for its great aromatic expressiveness, but it has a tendency to produce excessively warm, oxidative wines with high alcohol content. In Sió, concentration and varietal typicity are sought, but without renouncing freshness, which can only be the result of proper management of the old vineyard. The characteristic boulder that covers the Can Ribas vineyard helps to counteract the adverse climatic effects and avoids uneven vintages.
