✨ Technical Specifications
The Nieto Senetiner Blend Collection Cabernet Sauvignon - Cabernet Franc - Petit Verdot is a sophisticated expression of Mendoza's capability with classic Bordeaux varieties. While Mendoza is globally synonymous with Malbec, its high-altitude terroirs have a storied history of cultivating exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon and its blending partners. This wine showcases the art of the blend: Cabernet Sauvignon provides a robust backbone of structured tannins and dark fruit; Cabernet Franc contributes elegant aromatic lift, fresh acidity, and subtle herbaceous notes; while Petit Verdot adds deep color, vibrant acidity, and exotic spice. Sourced from selected vineyards in Mendoza, the grapes benefit from intense alpine sunlight and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts, resulting in optimal phenolic ripeness and balanced acidity. The wine undergoes traditional fermentation followed by aging in oak, yielding a harmonious, complex red that honors the estate's century-old winemaking heritage.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1888 by Italian immigrants in the premier Vistalba subregion of Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, Nieto Senetiner stands as one of Argentina's foundational and most storied wineries. Expanded and revitalized by the Nieto and Senetiner families beginning in 1969, the estate pairs more than a century of viticultural heritage with modern vinification techniques. Nestled in the high-altitude foothills of the Andes, the vineyards thrive in semi-arid conditions that produce concentrated, balanced fruit with remarkable depth. The winery is internationally celebrated for its rich, expressive Malbecs and its flagship Don Nicanor portfolio, showcasing complex red blends, old-vine selections, and refined varietal wines.
