Intensity
A superb biodynamic Argentinian wine which comes from the Uco valley and is produced by one of the 30 best enologists in the world, according to the magazine Decanter. Finesse and harmony abound in this wonderfully-blended cuvée.
More infoThe Sintonia cuvée is a blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec grapes from 10-year-old vines cultivated through Massal selection. The wine is vinified in concrete eggs and then transferred to tronconic vats and barriques for malolactic fermentation. After this it is barrel-aged for 18 months in one-year-used French barriques and concrete vats. This wine exudes aromas of red and dark fruits with spicy and liquorice notes. A very precise and gentle extraction process makes for a delicate, harmonious texture on the palate, an elegant structure, and a fruity finish.
