Carlos Basso
“Dos Fincas” Malbec

The use of two separate vineyards in Argentina is a traditional practice to safeguard against the threat of hail. For the Basso family, it also allows them to make a more interesting blend by combining the attributes of two distinct microclimates. The dark, powerful fruit from their vineyard in San Carlos, matched with the softer, more nuanced fruit from their vineyard in Tunuyan, makes for a memorable wine.

Appellation: San Carlos (Altamira) and Tunuyan, Mendoza

Elaboration: Unfined and unfiltered

Winemaker: Adolfo Basso

Tasting Notes:

Inky purple in color, with classic Malbec aromatics of dark plum, blackberry, and blueberry. More layers of saturated berry fruit flavors and notes of cocoa fill out the palate, and the wine finishes incredibly soft considering its young age.
