BN#232103 |
This special offering is made from a selection of 80 years old vineyards: 35% from the sub-zones of Vistalba and Perdriel (Luján de Cuyo), and the rest from the zone of La Consulta and Vista Flores (Valle de Uco). Fermented with native yeasts and aged in French oak for 12 months, look for an exotic, perfume of cedar, vanilla, lavender, blueberry compote and black cherry. This deep yet silky wine has notes of mineral, espresso, chocolate and rich black fruit.
Altos Las Hormigas exclusively produces Malbec in Argentina. Their own vineyards are located in Lujan de Cuyo, on a gentle slope at about 800 meters above sea level, facing the Andes range in the East. The estate also buys grapes from neighboring vineyards. The project itself is the combined effort of: Alberto Antonini, a well known Tuscan winemaker; Antonio Morescalchi, a young entrepreneur; Attilio Pagli, another well known Tuscan winemaker; Marco de Grazia, a well known negotiant of fine Italian wines; Alan Scerbanenko, an Italo-Swiss management counselor; and last, but not least, Antonio Terni, who produces top quality wines in the Marche region of Italy.
