Description
What kind of wine it is
Diaguita Malbec is a still red wine that powerfully expresses the intense character of the Argentine territory. Made from Malbec grapes, it displays a bright ruby red hue enriched with violet highlights. The bouquet intertwines notes of black fruits and ripe plum, enhanced by hints of cherry and red pepper. On the palate, it reveals a powerful and complex structure, where the richness of the fruit is balanced by pronounced yet velvety tannins. Each sip offers an enveloping mouthfeel that evolves into a persistent and rounded finish, ideal for pairing with cuts of beef, lamb, and mature cheeses.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from Mendoza, Argentina, where the high-altitude vineyards stretch up to 1,500 metres above sea level. At these heights, intense sunlight and significant temperature variations promote excellent aromatic concentration and particularly rich fruit. The connection with this extreme environment pays homage to the indigenous Diaguita people, who historically crossed the Andes while preserving their identity. The influence of the mountain climate imparts a lively spicy character and remarkable structural solidity to the glass, captivating with every sip.
How it is produced
Vinification begins with careful harvesting, followed by crushing and destemming. To maximise the extraction of aromas, the must undergoes a cold maceration, followed by fermentation and pressing. To ensure greater fullness of flavour, part of the grapes undergoes a prolonged maceration, a crucial step in consolidating the elegant tannic texture. The different components are then brought together in the final blend, creating a harmonious profile in which the fresh acidity of the fruit perfectly integrates with the structure, resulting in a decisive and balanced drinking experience.
History and Curiosities
The Diaguita Malbec 2024 pays tribute to the pre-Columbian people of the same name who crossed the Andes, preserving their ancestral identity intact. Through the reference to the Rainmaker, the wine symbolises enduring strength and a deep connection to the land of Mendoza, at 1,500 metres above sea level. The elegant bottle blends unmistakable Argentinian charm with refined European style, enhancing a still red wine that is powerful and complex. Tasting this glass means celebrating genuine indigenous resilience, experiencing an emotion steeped in history and pure memory.
