NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Zolo Malbec greets the eye with a deep, ruby-purple hue.The aromatics are rich and inviting, boasting a bouquet of ripe blackberries, blueberries, and hints of violet, complemented by a touch of sweet spices and vanilla. The palate is rewarded with a cascade of luscious dark fruit flavors, intertwined with nuances of cocoa and a trace of leather. Medium to full-bodied, the wine has velvety tannins and a balanced acidity, culminating in a finish that resonates with warmth and subtle earthiness. A genuine portrayal of Argentine Malbec at its finest.

ORIGINS
Winery: Zolo
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
