PerSe, Gualtallary Lubileus other_regions_italy A very ripe nose yetMalbec grown at 1,300m on chalky alluvial soils in Uco Valley's Gualtallary region. From a cold and wet vintage; grapes were hand picked, then fermented and aged in neutral French oak. A tiny amount of Cabernet Franc (around 3%) contributes to the heady aromatics, expressive floral and cherry top notes, with earthy base notes. Silky black and blue fruit attack leads to a fresh, lively palate with remarkable natural acidity and ripe, filigree tannins.
