DESCRIPTION
Domaine Nico Histoire d'A Pinot Noir 2022 comes from the Gualtallary vineyard in Tupungato, at an altitude of 1,350 meters, from a 1.75-hectare plot planted in 1998 (Dijon clone 115).

Domaine Nico is an artisanal Pinot Noir project established in Tupungato, in the Uco Valley, Mendoza. The vines, planted between 1993 and 2013 across high-altitude terroirs ranging from 1,120 to 1,450 meters, express the freshness and precision of limestone soils. Limited production and a non-interventionist approach, aged exclusively in François Frères French oak barrels.
On the nose, notes of red fruits, spices, and a herbal character characteristic of Gualtallary. On the palate, vertical, precise, and highly fresh, with fine tannins and well-integrated oak. It pairs well with light gastronomic dishes. Aging potential of 8 to 12 years.
REGION
Mendoza
Argentina
Mendoza is the largest wine region in Argentina. Set on a high altitude plateau at the edge of the Andes, the province accounts for around 70% of the country's annual wine production. The French grape Malbec has found its New World home in the vineyards of Mendoza, producing red wines of great concentration and intensity. While Malbec is without doubt the star of the region, you will also find many plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Syrah, Torrontés and Sauvignon Blanc.
