Region: Altamira, Argentina

Vintage: 2020

Composition: 100% Malbec

History: Tinto Negro, meaning black wine in Spanish, is meant to celebrate the essence of Malbec in Mendoza. Known for its dark, blackish color Malbec is definitely a Tinto Negro. Tinto Negro was born of the long-time friendship and professional collaboration of Alejandro Sejanovich and Jeff Mausbach, colleagues at Bodega Catena Zapata for almost 15 years.

Tasting Notes:

Plenty of rich black currant, blackberry, plum, and crushed gravel aromas shape the nose of this energetic Malbec from Paraje Altamira in Uco Valley. The palate is juicy, with concentrated black fruit and a mineral texture. It’s an elegant wine with chalky tannins and nice acidity to freshen the delicious finish.
