Pietro Marini Malbec 2018

The higher, drier, colder terroir of the Salta region - specifically the Cafayate Valley - makes for a Malbec that is a little lighter on its feet than the big burly Malbec grapes of Mendoza, who haven't had to train quite as hard to produce such wonderful nectar. That hard work pays off and makes for a more refined Malbec.

With the Pietro Marini Malbec 2018 everything seems to be in balance, as all the senses complement one another. It has an intense ruby red colour with a lively violet halo. The gentle fragrances of plum and red cherry are clear. Then come the classic unctuous, ripe tannins of a plummy Malbec, with with a good final persistence on the palate. A wine that's worth the work.
