- Concentrated fruit flavours are balanced by a fresh palate with a chalky texture to a pleasing and moreish finish. This mouth-filling, bold wine has rich black fruits and hints of earthy beetroot. It is a powerful wine with rich blackberry fruits and hints of spice. Piattelli Vineyards practises sustainable farming, and their Mendoza vineyards are USDA-certified organic. The grapes are cultivated with arid, clean air, crystal-clear water, and nutrient-rich soil, and their award-winning wines are produced with wisdom, precision, and care.
Fermentation took place with selected yeasts in stainless steel tanks at a controlled and lasted for 10 days. Pump overs and délestages (rack and return) were implemented during fermentation to achieve the desired levels of extraction and homogenization. Pressing followed immediately without an extended maceration. Malolactic conversion occurred in stainless steel tanks before being transferred to third-use oak barrels for eight months of maturation.
It is a mouth-filling, powerful wine with rich blackberry fruits and hints of spice. Concentrated fruit flavours are balanced by a fresh palate with a chalky texture to a full-flavoured finish.

| Winery | The vines are grown at high altitudes in Cafayate, at 1,700 metres above sea level. It is one of the highest regions in the world suitable for viticulture, and this high altitude defines the terroir. The vines are exposed to intense sunlight, which results in the grapes forming thicker and darker skins to protect themselves from the ultraviolet rays, leading to more colour and flavour concentration in the grapes. The diurnal temperature difference results in an extended ripening season, producing flavoursome grapes with balancing acidity. The trellised vines are grown with minimal intervention in alluvial and sandy loam soils. |
