Catena La Marchigiana Malbec 2022

An authentic and expressive natural red, the 2022 La Marchigiana Malbec is a tribute to the winemaking heritage of the Marche immigrants who settled in Argentina. Crafted using ancestral methods, the wine is fermented and aged in traditional clay amphorae (tinajas) without the addition of sulfites. It displays a saturated dark violet colour and an intense, earthy bouquet of ripe black fruits, crushed plums, and violets, accented by unique balsamic and mineral undertones. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and remarkably pure, featuring a vibrant acidity and a raw, textured mouthfeel with soft tannins. The finish is clean and persistent, showcasing the unadorned character of Malbec from the high-altitude El Cepillo vineyard.

Lots of graphite, spices, dark minerals, dark olives and iodine to the black cherries. Juicy and tight on the palate with dense but fine-grained tannins. Very pristine. Drink now.
