The 2022 Sottano Selección is sourced from the Perdriel vineyards in Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, an area renowned for producing high-quality grapes at altitude. The Sottano family estate benefits from warm days and cool nights in the Andes foothills, creating grapes with excellent balance, ripeness, and freshness.
Tasting Notes:
This wine shows a deep, intense red colour with violet hues. Aromas of ripe plum, red berry, and violet are complemented by subtle mineral notes and gentle chocolate and vanilla from oak ageing. On the palate, the wine has a structured, elegant feel with velvety tannins and a long, smooth finish, showing both richness and finesse.
Winemaking:
Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts. The grapes undergo five days of cold maceration followed by twenty-eight days of total maceration. The wine is then aged for twelve months in oak barrels, which adds depth and softness while preserving the purity of the Malbec fruit.
Food Pairing:
Pairs beautifully with grilled or roasted beef, barbecued lamb, rich stews, and hard cheeses, where the wine’s structure and smooth tannins can shine.
ABV: 14.5%
