WINE DESCRIPTION
Bressia Monteagrelo Malbec hails from the picturesque wine regions of Tupungato, La Consulta, and Agrelo in Mendoza, Argentina. Crafted by the skilled hands of the Bressia winery, this 100% Malbec showcases the essence of Argentine terroir. Harvested manually in the cool morning hours to preserve the fruit's freshness, the grapes undergo meticulous sorting to retain only the finest berries. The wine then matures for 10 months in new French and American oak barrels, followed by an additional year of bottle aging, contributing to the refinement of tannins. This Malbec is a testament to tradition and craftsmanship, offering a symphony of flavors that typify the rich winemaking heritage of Argentina.

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
