La Posta Pizzella Malbec

A Malbec from La Consulta, the 2016 Malbec Pizzella Vineyard was partly aged in used oak barrels for 12 months. This is clearly my favorite among all the single-vineyard reds, as it has varietal character and is clean, focused and fresh.

Alcohol percentage: 13.5

Tasting Notes

Enjoy the simpler times in La Consulta, Uco Valley with the Pizzella family and their rich Malbec full of dark fruit and spice.TASTING NOTESA beautiful red and purple color with aromas of black cherries, dark fruits, dark chocolate and bakers spice. On the palate, the wine shows dense, dark berry and plum flavors along with hints of sandalwood and spice, and even a hint of violets in the finish. This is a full-bodied and well-structured wine that is incredibly full of life and born to be enjoyed with food and friends.FOOD PAIRINGIt goes great with many foods, especially meat and barbeque. Unique recipe ideas include: Grilled Polenta with Wild Mushroom Ragout, Grilled Quail with Quinoa, Currant and Pine Nut Pilaf, or Wild Boar, Sage and Dried Cherry Risotto.
