2022 Classic Malbec, Piattelli Vineyards
Mendoza, Argentina
Piattelli’s 2022 Classic Malbec is generous, smooth and instantly welcoming, the sort of Argentine red that knows exactly why people love Malbec. There is ripe plum, blackberry, black cherry and violet on the nose, with a soft touch of vanilla, cocoa and spice giving it warmth without weighing it down.
On the palate, it is plush and rounded, with dark fruit at the centre and gentle tannins carrying everything neatly through the finish. The fruit feels full and glossy, but the high-altitude Cafayate freshness keeps it lively, making this a wonderfully easy bottle to enjoy with food, friends and a proper glass.
For when
A midweek steak suddenly deserves a little Argentine swagger.
Pairs with
Grilled steak, burgers, lamb chops, smoky aubergine, beef empanadas, chilli con carne or mature cheddar..
Piattelli Vineyards brings together two of Argentina’s great wine landscapes, Mendoza and Salta, with this Malbec coming from Cafayate in the Calchaquí Valley. The estate’s high-altitude Salta vineyards sit over 5,890 feet up in the Andes, where pure mountain water, strong sunlight and cool nights help build flavour, freshness and colour. Led by head winemaker Valeria Antolin, Piattelli has built a reputation for polished, expressive Argentine wines with a real sense of place.
