NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
On the nose, you can expect intense aromas of ripe dark fruits, such as blackberries and plums, accompanied by hints of spice and oak.These aromas continue to evolve and become more pronounced as the wine opens up.
The palate is equally impressive, with a full-bodied and velvety texture that coats the mouth. The flavors are well-balanced, with notes of black cherry, cassis, and dark chocolate, complemented by subtle hints of vanilla and tobacco. The tannins are smooth and integrated, providing structure and depth to the wine.
The Bodega Familia Cassone Obra Prima Maximus Gran Reserva Familiar is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but it also has good aging potential.

ORIGINS
Winery: Bodega Familia Cassone
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
