The Emilia range by Nieto Senetiner is named in honor of Dona Emilia, a beloved figure in the winery's history who epitomized hospitality and warmth. This Chardonnay is crafted to showcase the fresh, vibrant, and approachable side of Mendoza's high-altitude terroir. Sourced from vineyards that benefit from intense Andean sunlight and cool night breezes, the grapes develop bright fruit flavors while retaining a crisp, balanced acidity. Fermented primarily in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its pure varietal character, this wine offers a delightful expression of tropical fruit and citrus notes, representing the modern, youthful face of Argentine white wines.
🍾 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.
