Tasting Notes
The Piattelli Alto Molino Malbec 2022 is a vibrant and expressive red wine from Argentina’s high-altitude Cafayate region. Rich, juicy blackberry and ripe plum lead the aromatic profile, layered with hints of smooth vanilla, dark chocolate, and subtle oak spice. On the palate, expect bold fruit concentration, sweet yet structured tannins, and a velvety, lingering finish.
Crafted under optimal growing conditions during a dry season with low disease pressure, this vintage reflects exceptional fruit purity and natural ripeness. Aged to develop depth and character, this Malbec balances fruit intensity with elegance, making it a perfect match for grilled meats, hearty stews, or aged cheeses.

Winery | From high in the Andes surrounding Salta come Piattelli's Cafayate wines, grown at over 1,795 metres. The distinctively colourful northwestern Argentinian mountains are formed of many geological layers. The splendour of this area, with its pure water and extreme thermal amplitudes, is that it produces grapes bursting with flavour, making this one of the most beautiful but also one of the premier grape-growing regions in the world. The wine is named after the high altitude vineyards, Alto meaning high and Molino, which translates as mill, taking its name from an old grain mill the Jesuits constructed in 1665, which sits at the entrance of the Piattelli vineyard in Cafayate. |
