Chateau Subsonico "Artista" Malbec Petit Verdot, Familia Falasco, Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina, 2021

Grapes: A blend of 84% Malbec & 16% Petit Verdot, vineyards at 1000 m.a.s.l. altitude, alluvial soil, 50% aged in French & American oak for 12 months and 50% in concrete tanks

Producer Tasting Note:

Deep red with purple highlights. Complex on the nose, with notes of jam, ripe figs and dried dark fruits. Gentle on the palate with juicy tannins and a long finish.

Region: The Uco Valley is one of Argentina’s most important wine regions. Approximately 45 miles long and 22 miles wide, the valley follows the course of the Tunuyan River. The area has seen significant growth and investment over the last 20 years and is now home to some of the country’s top producers. Benefitting from the cooler climate and excellent soil offered by higher altitude vineyards, the region produces spectacular Malbec with a distinctive floral nose. It’s also responsible for some of Mendoza’s finest Chardonnay and Torrontes.
