Pietro Marini - Malbec Tardio

  • Region: Cafayate, Salta
  • Varietal: Malbec

Tasting Notes: Intense ruby red color with a bright, lively purplish halo. In the nose, we find fragrances of red fruits such as plums and raisins, something spicy typical of the Malbec in the valley and touches of vanilla, tobacco and honey produced by their passage through oak barrels. In the mouth, it is of sweet input, good balance of acidity, unctuous and friendly. Ripe tannins with a good final persistence. It invites you to keep drinking it. Good balance of sweetness without being overly sweet.

 

Wine making process: Prior crushing, grapes were hand sorted. Slow alcoholic fermentation. Fermentation at low controlled temperature (20ºC) produced by selected yeasts. Extended Maceration (25 to 30 days) and 100% of the juice went through malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tank.
