Premium Cabernet Sauvignon

Groomed to be a super-premium wine cloaked in a premium bottle, Piattelli Premium Cabernet Sauvignon has the smooth, fruit-forward flavor of grapes from our Uco Valley vineyard. The idyllic characteristics of this environment bring our wines to perfection much earlier than wines made from grapes grown in regions with shorter seasons.

VINIFICATION:

From shoot to shelf, Piattelli wine results from tireless personal oversight by winemaker Valeria Antolin and general director Gabriel Fidel. With consultant Roberto de la Mota and an expert staff, they constantly pursue vinicultural perfection.

• Grapes were hand-picked and manually sorted
• Grapes underwent 3 days of cold maceration
• Fermented in small, 25,000-liter stainless steel tanks
• Follows 90% of the same process as Grand Reserve Cabernet

AGING: Piattelli Premium Cabernet was aged for 12 months in small, second-use French- and American-oak barrels and then bottle-aged an additional 6 months.

TASTING NOTES:

Opaque crimson in color, Premium Cabernet's fragrant bouquet of cola, sweet blueberries, and dried plums evolves into a medium-bodied, chocolate and vanilla flavor that lingers with a balanced tannin bull and finishes with understated-yet-resonant oak.

TUPUNGATO, WEST UCO VALLEY, MENDOZA:

• Elevation: 3,937 feet
• Ideal temperature for fussy Cabernet grapes, which removes inherent herbaceous flavors
• Water is irrigated from the Andes mountains
• Warm dry days, cool nights maximize color and tannins
• Arid environment minimizes common viticultural challenges
• Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are grown on 15-year-old vines, which are managed to yield only 6.6 pounds of fruit per vine and 4.5 tons per acre
