Nido Del Tigre, Alcaparossa Ancellotta 2023
DESCRIPTION
The Nido del Tigre Alcaparrosa Ancellotta is a red wine that defies convention: it ferments without its skins, with only two days of cold maceration for Ancellotta skins before following a delicate fermentation protocol, similar to that of white wines. This unique approach highlights the terroir's exceptional minerality, rich in alcaparrosa—a deep red-hued mineral emblematic of the pre-Andean soils of Villa Corral. At 1,500 meters altitude, this vineyard, blessed with 300 days of sun, produces a wine of rare elegance, naturally vibrant and unfiltered, capturing the true essence of its origins.
REGION
San Juan
Argentina
Although less well known than Mendoza, San Juan stands out among Argentina's great vineyards. Located in the west of the country, at the foot of the Andes, this region enjoys a desert climate ideal for viticulture. The winemakers of San Juan produce wines of great personality, with Syrah as the flagship grape variety, giving intense, spicy reds. Excellent Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay are also found here, reflecting the arid, sun-drenched terroir. Thanks to the altitude and temperature variations, the grapes develop good concentration and fresh acidity, making for well-balanced, long-keeping wines. Internationally acclaimed, San Juan wines seduce with their unique character.
