WINE DESCRIPTION

Viniterra Malbec was set up by Adriano Senetiner a winemaker and entrepreneur from Parma with more than 50 years’ experience on the cutting edge of fine wine. He has instilled into them a real passion for their unique terroir. Their grapes are grown over a kilometre above sea level all of their wines are vegan friendly. Considering the sheer volume of Malbec produced in Argentina alone this latter point perfectly demonstrates the quality coming out of Viniterra. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel followed by 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 Viniterra Malbec has a deep ruby red color, with a nose of ripe blackberry and blueberry aromas, mixed with smoke, spices and lifted violet notes.On the palate, it is juicy and full-bodied, with flavors of dark fruits, licorice, and hints of oak. The tannins are well-integrated, leading to a smooth and lingering finish.

ORIGINS

Winery: Viniterra

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.
