Tupungato Corbec 2020

The selected bunches of grapes are placed on wooden racks imitating the Venetian arella for a period of 20 days. Gentle pressing of the grapes and destemming, the grapes ferment at 20-24°C for a period of 20 days in stainless steel tanks. The wine completes its fermentation with the help of selected yeasts. Eighteen months in medium-toasted French oak barrels. Rests in stainless steel tanks before bottling.

Vigneti La Arboleda vineyards, over an area of 140 hectares, in the Mendoza wine region in western Argentina, more precisely in the Tupungato Valley. The vineyards have been planted at an altitude varying between 950 and 1,050 meters above sea level. The soil is partly sandy and stony and has a high content of mineral and organic elements.

Deep and opaque red with violet reflections on the edges. Intense aromas of berry fruit, blueberry, balsamic reduction, mint and black licorice. Full-bodied but in balance with the freshness of the acidity and the present and supple tannins. Long and intense finish with notes of balsamic and spices perceived on the nose.

Serve with grilled game meat, rack of venison with cherries, bison tournedos with cranberries or a saddle of hare with fine herbs. Firm, washed-rind cheeses such as: Clos St-Ambroise, Curé Labelle, Douanier and Freddo made with raw milk.
