✨ Technical Specifications
The Nieto Senetiner Blend Collection Malbec Cabernet Franc Petit Verdot is a sophisticated expression of Mendoza's high-altitude terroir, where the intense Andean sun and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts create grapes of exceptional concentration and balance. This contemporary blend artfully marries three classic Bordeaux varieties that have found a second home in Argentina. The Malbec provides a lush foundation of ripe red fruits and signature violet aromas, while the Cabernet Franc introduces refined herbaceous notes and elegant structure. Petit Verdot completes the trio, contributing deep color, firm tannins, and a touch of exotic spice. Crafted with careful oak aging, this wine reflects the historic estate's evolution, blending over a century of winemaking tradition with a vibrant, modern blending philosophy.
🍾 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.
