Region: Mendoza, Argentina

Vintage: 2018

Composition: 100% Mysterious Red Blend

History: Alma Negra means “Black Soul”, because the color of the wines made from the bonarda grape is deep and intense. The first wines made, which where all reds, had a real “black soul” when you saw them in the glass. Ernesto also wanted to create a wine about which little was known, the composition or technical details, so that the wine was judged solely on how the taster perceived it. When the line was launched in 2006, the wines were named Misterio, and the mask on the label was a symbol for a hidden identity or mystery.

Tasting Notes:

A wine with dense, dark, and intriguing aromas of dark berries and coffee with a wonderful earthy aroma. It flows smoothly with rounded tannins which last for a long time with echoes of cooked ripe blackcurrants.
