“For Histoire, the selection comes from pinot noir vineyards planted in 1998 in the lowest part of the Adrianna Vineyard, right next to the Lomas del Jaboncillo, near the beginning of what is known as Monasterio, one of the areas that is producing some of the best reds today in the Uco Valley. In this case, the soil rich in gravel bathed in calcium carbonate gives the wine a sensation of firm, chalky-textured tannins that hold up the red fruits and earthy notes. This is a wine with tremendous tension marked by delicious and firm acidity. A wine with long, deep flavors.”

“I simply love the 2018 Histoire d’A Pinot Noir. It’s from a classic Mendoza vintage, dry, cool, sunny and with moderate yields in every region from the lowest to the highest altitudes. It combines the violet and red cherries with notes of blood orange peel and fine spices. This plot of vines on the Arianna Vineyard in Gualtallary has very shallow soils and an east exposure, which, combined with the vintage, has produced a very fresh and elegant wine, full of energy and light. It has refined tannins and very clean and focused flavors.”
