2023 Bodegas Bianchi Finca Los Primos Malbec

Very attractive and profound purplish colour, typical of young Malbec wines. Intense, aromatic fruit-forward expression with evidence of ripe red fruit and notes of violets, accompanied by a subtle minerality. In the mouth, it has a sweet entry, round and soft tannins, balanced acidity, and medium structure.

Viticulture

The grapes for Finca Los Primos Malbec come both from family vineyards as well as from associated producers, all of these in San Rafael, Mendoza. The family vineyards are: Finca Doña Elsa and Finca Asti, both of these at an approximate altitude of 750 m.a.s.l. They have poor, alluvial-origin soils, with a loamy-sandy texture and some calcareous sediments which provide minerality notes to the wine. Manual harvest

Vinification

Bodegas Bianchi uses a blend of traditional and modern winemaking techniques, including French oak barrel aging (for both new and used barrels) and aging in amphoras for some premium wines like the IV Generación Gran Corte. Grapes are sourced from multiple vineyards in San Rafael and the Uco Valley, leveraging different terroirs, micro-climates, and soils to create complexity.
