Domaine Nico Grand Mère Pinot Noir 2023 comes from a 2-hectare parcel planted in 2013 in Villa Bastías, Tupungato, in the Uco Valley, Mendoza, at an altitude of 1,120 meters. On clay soils with surface gravel and a subsoil of alluvial stones covered in limestone, this 100% Pinot Noir is aged for 8 months (40% in 20 hL oak foudres, 60% in third-use barrels), with 20% whole clusters. Laura Catena thus pays tribute to her grandmother with this elegant cru.

The nose opens with aromas of cherries and strawberries, then reveals notes of black fruits and a spicy touch of black pepper and cinnamon. The acidity is medium, with a horizontal palate and beautiful finesse. To be enjoyed with delicate red meats or mushrooms.
