La Posta Malbec Pizzella Family Vineyard 2019
Valle de Uco, Tunuyán, Central Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaLa Posta Pizzella is Altamira malbec grown at 925 metres, with ten months in a 50/50 mix of stainless steel and French oak (50 percent new, the remainder second and third use barrels). The texture is fine, almost silky, and the fruit is a mix of blackberry and boysenberry, with spicy branchy notes in the finish. An uncomplicated red for most beef dishes or a favourite hard cheese. Winery food matches include grilled polenta with wild mushroom ragout, grilled quail with quinoa, currant and pine nut pilaf, or wild boar, sage, and dried cherry risotto.Tasted: 23 March 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $25.99 | 750ml | select private retailers |
