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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in 1888 by Italian immigrants in the premier wine-growing region of Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, Nieto Senetiner is one of Argentina's most historic and prestigious wineries. The estate was acquired by the Nieto and Senetiner families in 1969, who expanded its facilities while preserving its architectural heritage, and it is now part of the Perez Companc Group. Renowned for its deep respect for terroir, the winery crafts exceptional wines from historic vineyards, including the centenarian vines of Finca Villa Blanca planted in 1906. Under the guidance of winemaker Santiago Mayorga, Nieto Senetiner produces elegant, structured wines, most notably their acclaimed Don Nicanor Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and innovative blends that showcase the classic character of Mendoza.
