WINE DESCRIPTION

Piattelli Limited Production Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Reserve is a premium wine that showcases the expertise of the Piattelli winery. This wine is made from carefully selected grapes grown in the high-altitude vineyards of Argentina's Mendoza region. The vineyards are situated at the foothills of the Andes Mountains, where the soil is rich in minerals and the climate is ideal for growing Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The winemaking process involves a combination of traditional and modern techniques, resulting in a wine that is rich, complex, and full-bodied. The wine is aged in oak barrels, which adds a subtle hint of vanilla and spice to the wine's already impressive flavor profile.

ORIGINS

Winery: Piattelli

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.
