The Malbec grapes are selected and harvested manually from vineyards located in the Uco Valley, in a wonderful natural landscape at the foot of the Andes mountain range, among verdant valleys intersected by splendid rivers. Here the soils are made up of sandy and silty layers rich in limestone. The fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks, as does the refinement to guarantee the pure expression of the complexity and richness of this vine.

The nose reveals notes of violets and cherries, blueberries and dried herbs, olive tapenade, and mineral hints of graphite. On the palate, it is powerful and structured, concentrated and well-balanced. It has velvety tannins and a good acidity. The finish is long and recalls mineral notes. It is a wine to be enjoyed with a rich barbecue.
