Domaine Nico Soeur et Frères, La Savante, Pinot Noir 2021
DESCRIPTION
Domaine Nico is the first winery to showcase the potential of high-altitude Pinot Noir from Argentina’ peaks. Thigh-altitude provides the wine with tension and grace. This is a delicate Pinot, with a fine texture, juicy tannins, flavors of ripe red fruits that, perhaps, are the result of the intense sun that falls on the vineyard. A generous wine, but still refreshing and incisive in texture.
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.
