La Posta Pizzella Malbec 2023

A vibrant and high-toned expression of high-altitude viticulture, the 2023 Pizzella Malbec is sourced from the family vineyard of Paula and Pablo Pizzella in the La Consulta district of the Uco Valley. This wine presents a deep purple hue and opens with an aromatic bouquet of black cherries, raspberries, and violets, underpinned by a signature stony minerality and a hint of dark chocolate. On the palate, it is medium-to-full-bodied and remarkably fresh, showcasing a silky texture with firm, fine-grained tannins and a vibrant acidity. Having matured in second and third-use French oak barrels, it delivers a long, savory finish with lingering notes of spice and sandalwood.
