WINE DESCRIPTION
Luca G Lot Pinot Noir is a high-quality wine produced by Luca winery in the Uco Valley of Argentina. The vineyards are situated at an elevation of 3,600 feet above sea level, with soils composed of sand, clay, and gravel, providing excellent drainage and imparting a distinct mineral character to the wine. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted before undergoing fermentation in stainless steel tanks with natural yeasts. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels for 12 months, adding complexity and depth to the final product. The result is a rich and aromatic Pinot Noir with flavors of dark berries, cherries, and hints of spice, with a smooth and velvety texture.

ORIGINS
Winery: Luca
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
