DESCRIPTION
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.
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.
