WINE DESCRIPTION
Angulo Innocenti Cabernet Sauvignon is a refined and expressive red wine from the La Consulta region of Mendoza, Argentina. This wine represents the collaboration between the Angulo and Innocenti families, who bring together their Spanish and Italian heritage to create wines that reflect the unique terroir of their adopted Argentine home. La Consulta, located in the Uco Valley, is renowned for its high-altitude vineyards, which provide the ideal conditions for growing Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The cool nights and warm days ensure a balanced ripening process, resulting in grapes that offer a perfect harmony of acidity and sugar levels. This wine is crafted with minimal intervention to highlight the varietal's characteristic flavors and the distinctiveness of its origin.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Angulo Innocenti Cabernet Sauvignon reveals a deep ruby color and entices with aromas of ripe blackcurrants, plums, and a hint of green bell pepper, typical of the Cabernet Sauvignon varietal.Layered upon these are subtle notes of vanilla and spice from oak aging, adding complexity to the bouquet. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured, with a rich tapestry of dark fruit flavors that mirror the nose, complemented by nuances of chocolate, coffee, and a touch of mint. The tannins are firm yet smooth, contributing to the wine's overall balance and leading to a long, elegant finish.

ORIGINS
Winery: Angulo Innocenti
Region: Mendoza
Mendoza is the largest wine-producing region in Argentina, located in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. It is known for its high-altitude vineyards, producing some of the country's most renowned wines. With a long history of winemaking, Mendoza is now one of the most important wine regions in South America. The territory of Mendoza can be divided into five large sub-regions, which give the varieties their particular characteristics: Valle de Uco GI, integrated by the departments of Tunuyán, Tupungato and San Carlos; Primera Zona, which includes the departments of Luján de Cuyo and Maipú; the Northern oasis (Lavalle and Las Heras), the East (San Martín, Rivadavia, Junín, Santa Rosa and La Paz) and the South (San Rafael, Malargüe and General Alvear), covering practically the entire provincial geography.
Mendoza has been producing wine since the 16th century, when Spanish settlers first brought vines to the region. Since then, the region has become a major producer of both red and white wines, with a focus on Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Torrontés. In recent years, Mendoza has become a leader in sustainable winemaking, with many producers focusing on organic and biodynamic practices.CUSTOMER RATING
