Vintage: 2017

Brick red in color. Rustic nose, with tremendous depth - resinous strawberries, tilled soil, and bing cherries. On the palate, the wine opens even more, with more berry flavors and hints of mint and caramel. Finishes soft, with supple tannins.

Carmelo Patti’s wines have something of a cult following with devoted fans in Argentina and abroad.  “I don’t want to [make wine] for commercial reasons,” says Patti, who only has one employee. Patti was an important force for the rebirth of fine wine production in Mendoza. His winemaking style is as unique as his character; no consultants, no manipulation, no pretensions. He defines his wines as “a classic style, a naked wine, without anything that can cover it up,” and he insists on holding all wine until he deems it ready for release which can be 4-5 years after harvest at the soonest for reds.
