2021 Bodegas Bianchi IV Generacion Gran Corte

This great four-variety blend shows an intense color. In the nose, intense and fresh red and black fruit aromas are interlaced with spice notes that reminiscence of thyme and black pepper, as well as with the typical minerality that the Chacayes terroir brings about, all this balanced with the subtle chocolate and vanilla notes contributed by its French Oak aging. In the mouth, is structured, and brings out the characteristic “sweet” feeling of Malbec, a prominent body from the Cabernet Sauvignon as well as the fine, balanced tannins from the Cabernet Franc, finished with a Petit Verdot touch. This ensemble provides complexity to this wine, which will in turn have a superb evolution and a substantial aging potential.

Viticulture

A single vineyard wine, from the Enzo Estate in the Uco Valley. Micro-terroir embraced by the immensity of the Andes Mountains, with soils of alluvial origin, great presence of boulders of various sizes, and poor in organic matter. Altitude of approximately 1,100 meters (3,600 ft) above sea level, granting the vines vast
thermal amplitude. The water used is obtained directly from pure and high-quality snowmelt. This water is collected in a dam located in the highest area of the vineyard, from where a drip irrigation system achieves proper water management for the whole vineyard.
