✨ Technical Specifications
The Emilia line by Nieto Senetiner is a tribute to the pioneering spirit and elegance of the women who shaped the winery's history. Crafted in Mendoza's high-altitude vineyards, this Dulce Natural Malbec Rosé is a vibrant, modern expression of Argentina's signature grape. To capture its delicate sweetness and bright pink hue, the Malbec grapes undergo a short maceration before fermentation is halted early using temperature control. This technique preserves the natural residual sugars of the grape, yielding a delightfully sweet, low-alcohol rosé that bursts with fresh red berry aromas and a lively, refreshing acidity.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1888 by Italian immigrants in Vistalba, Bodega Nieto Senetiner stands as one of the historic pillars of Luján de Cuyo viticulture. Acquired by the Nieto and Senetiner families in 1969 and integrated into Molinos Río de la Plata in 1998, the estate commands prime holdings across Vistalba and Agrelo, including Finca Villa Blanca and Finca Las Tortugas. Situated between 950 and 1,150 meters above sea level against the Andean backdrop, the vineyards thrive on alluvial clay-loam and gravelly soils subjected to wide diurnal temperature shifts and intense high-altitude sunlight. Winemaker Santiago Mayorga crafts both classic reds and pristine, aromatic whites and rosés with modern precision. While globally acclaimed for benchmark Malbec and heritage Bonarda, the estate demonstrates deft mastery of aromatic and refreshing profiles through everyday and fruit-forward ranges such as Benjamín, Fran, and Emilia, preserving pure varietal expression, vibrant natural acidity, and refined balance across Torrontés, Moscatel de Alejandría, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay.
