The label
This artistic creation by Oriol Malet offers an illustration that deeply conveys the essence of Jaspi Negre. The female figure, with her curves and details, reflects the wine’s subtlety and delicacy, while her posture and expression evoke undeniable power and rich Mediterranean character. This duality resonates with the velvety texture of the wine which, despite its softness, does not lose its intensity and depth.
Above the figure, the red cloud immerses us in a world of red and black fruit flavors, while also referencing the vibrant freshness that characterizes this wine. The color palette hints at the mature yet fresh character of Jaspi Negre.
Finally, the name Jaspi Negre clearly evokes the earth. Referring to the homonymous mineral, jasper in English, the wine expresses the mineral characteristics that define it.

MUSICAL
PAIRING
PAIRING
With the melodies of Arrival of The Birds by The Cinematic Orchestra, we embark on a journey of ascension and introspection, an experience that aligns perfectly with the notes of Jaspi Negre. The lightness and elegance of the initial chords of this piece reflect the complexity and sophistication of this wine, transporting us to the rolling landscapes of Montsant. As the melody grows and develops, we can imagine the ripening red fruits emerging, with their balsamic and spicy qualities.
On the other hand, Blood is Thicker Than Water by William DeVaughn offers a more earthy and funk sound, reminiscent of the wine’s velvety texture and rich nuances. The rhythmic depth and soul of this song resonate with the soft tannins and the persistence of the forest fruit notes in Jaspi Negre. Together, these two musical pieces guide us through a multisensory journey, from the highest peaks to the deepest forests of Montsant.
