WINE DESCRIPTION

Piattelli Malbec Premium Reserve is a high-quality wine produced by Piattelli Vineyards, a winery located in the Mendoza region of Argentina. The wine is made from Malbec grapes grown in the vineyards located at the foothills of the Andes Mountains, which provide ideal growing conditions for the grapes. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes and aging in oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity and depth. The resulting wine is a rich and full-bodied Malbec with notes of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice, making it a perfect choice for those who appreciate bold and flavorful wines.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The Piattelli Malbec Premium Reserve is an intense, yet balanced expression of this Argentine variety.On the nose, aromas of dark fruit, blackberry, and blueberry mingle with hints of violet, dark chocolate, and black pepper. On the palate, ripe and juicy flavors of blackberry and black cherry are complemented by complex notes of earth and tobacco. The finish is long, with a lingering hint of spice and cocoa. This is an excellent example of a Malbec with a sophisticated character.

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.
