NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Bressia Monteagrelo Cabernet Franc is an exceptional wine that showcases the unique characteristics of the Cabernet Franc grape variety.On the nose, Bressia Monteagrelo Cabernet Franc offers an enticing bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, accompanied by subtle floral notes. There is also a hint of spice, adding complexity to the aromatic profile.
The palate is rich and full-bodied, with velvety tannins that provide a smooth and elegant mouthfeel. Flavors of blackberries, plums, and blackcurrants dominate, complemented by a touch of tobacco and dark chocolate. The wine displays excellent balance, with a harmonious integration of fruit, acidity, and oak.
Bressia Monteagrelo Cabernet Franc is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but it also has the potential to age gracefully. It pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, particularly lamb or beef, as well as hearty stews and aged cheeses.

ORIGINS
Winery: Bressia
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
