2020 | Las Estelas | Finca Mangato Malbec - Cabernet Franc

Despite the season's warmth, this wine is balanced and has a very good relationship between acidity and tannins, which creates a firm structure, sharp, and vertical style. The aromas are herbal, very clearly marking the presence of the cabernet franc, and the finish is filled with herbs.

Producer Information

The story begins in the early 1940s when Estela’s grandfather, Dr. Hector Perinetti, son of an immigrant from Piedmont, purchased a piece of land in Tupungato and planted Semillon. (At that time this area was considered too cold for red grapes!) When aged just two years old his eldest son, Hector Junior, named the vineyard – Finca Mangato. As these vines became old and increasingly non-viable in the 1990s, Estela and her mother – Estela Armando, also a winemaker! – decided to grub up the Semillon to plant red varietals such as Malbec, the Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc, and Merlot and Syrah, and these vines form the basis of Las Estelas today. A little Chardonnay is also planted, watch this space. Estela and her team are new friends to Ucopia, and we look forward to learning more and more about this special place and winemaking philosophy with each new vintage. In the meantime, Estela says this… “We want to pay tribute to all the women in the family and all those who work alongside us. The presence of women has had a fundamental role in Las Estelas Wines… they work our lands with passion and commitment… Argentina is not just one wine, Malbec is not just a type of wine, and we are not just Malbec.”
