2022 Classic Malbec, Piattelli Vineyards

The Piattelli Vineyards lie in the foothills of the Andes Mountains, where the century-old vines are irrigated by the pure waters melting from the snow-crested peaks; significant in making their wines exquisite. At Piattelli Vineyards great pride is taken in crafting wines with a sense of place, as each region has distinct terroirs and microclimates. Led by head winemaker Valeria Antolin, the wines are produced through her passionate pursuit of perfection. Their gravity fed winery in Cafayate honours their commitment to sustainable practices. Piattelli Vineyards practises sustainable farming and their Mendoza vineyards are USDA certified organic. The grapes are cultivated with arid clean air, crystal clear water and nutrient-rich soil and their award-winning wines are produced with wisdom, precision and care.

The grapes were carefully selected. Fermentation took place with selected yeasts in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures of 25 °C, lasting 10 days. The press wine and free run wine were separated and underwent malolactic conversion resulting in a softer palate. Maturation took place in 225-litre French and American oak barrels of second and third use, lasting eight months.
