✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
