WINE DESCRIPTION
La Posta Fazzio Malbec is a premium wine produced by Domingo Fazzio, a renowned winemaker from Argentina. This wine is made from Malbec grapes grown in the Mendoza appellation, which is known for its high-altitude vineyards and ideal growing conditions. The vineyard features well-draining soils and a dry climate, which results in grapes with concentrated flavors and aromas. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is full-bodied and rich, with notes of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This La Posta Fazzio Malbec from the Domingo Fazzio winery is a rich and robust red wine with aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, and plum.On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and smooth, with flavors of ripe blackberry, cassis, and hints of black pepper and red fruit. The finish is long and elegant, with lingering notes of dark-fruit and earth. A wonderfully balanced and expressive wine worthy of its top-tier status.

ORIGINS
Winery: La Posta
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
