Seleccion Malbec Mendoza 2021

Alamos Selección Malbec is a red wine produced in the Mendoza region of Argentina. A pure Malbec, it represents a particularly interesting expression of this variety due to its origin. The grapes, in fact, come from vineyards located at an altitude of over 1500 metres in the Andes. The altitude of the vineyards, together with the considerable temperature range between day and night, contribute to producing high quality grapes. The cooler temperatures favour the concentration of anthocyanins, polyphenolic elements present in the grape skins, which give the wine its intense colour. In addition, the naturally humidity-free environment helps prevent the spread of fungi and fungal diseases, reducing the need for chemical treatments. After the harvest, the grapes are carefully selected and brought to the winery. After destemming, they undergo low-temperature maceration to extract colour and aromatic substances. The subsequent alcoholic fermentation takes place in thermoregulated tanks and, after malolactic fermentation, the wine matures for about a year in medium toasted French barrels. The result is an exceptional and refined red, characterised by a lively and concentrated colour, with clearly recognisable aromas of flowers and fresh fruit. A wine that embodies the Argentine wine tradition at its best and is a real must for Malbec enthusiasts.
