WINE DESCRIPTION
Finca Decero, located in the renowned Mendoza region of Argentina, presents the Amano from their Remolinos Vineyard, a flagship wine that encapsulates the essence of their meticulous vineyard-centric approach. The Remolinos Vineyard, named after its tiny whirlwinds, is situated in the Agrelo sub-region, known for its high altitude and diurnal temperature variations which contribute to the grapes’ balanced ripeness and complexity. Amano, meaning "by hand," is a testament to the hands-on, crafted approach of the winery. This wine is typically a blend of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot, showcasing the harmony and intensity that can be achieved through careful selection and blending of varietals, coupled with patient aging in French oak barrels.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Finca Decero Amano from Remolinos Vineyard is a robust and sophisticated wine.In the glass, it displays a deep, inviting purple hue, indicative of its intensity. The nose offers a luxurious array of dark fruits like blackberries and plums, elegantly intertwined with notes of vanilla, sweet spices, and a hint of tobacco from the oak aging. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and rich, with a velvety texture that envelops the mouth. The layers of ripe fruit flavors are beautifully complemented by nuances of chocolate, leather, and a subtle mineral edge. Firm, yet polished tannins and a well-judged acidity add structure and lead to a long, satisfying finish. The Amano is a wine that skillfully combines the boldness of Argentine viticulture with the finesse of traditional winemaking.

ORIGINS
Winery: Finca Decero
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
