✨ Technical Specifications
The 'Emilia' range by Nieto Senetiner is named in honor of Emilia Nieto, celebrating the pioneering spirit of the women who helped shape the winery's historic legacy. This red blend brings together Malbec, Argentina's signature grape, with Bonarda, a variety deeply rooted in the country's viticultural history. Sourced from selected vineyards in Mendoza, the grapes thrive under the high-altitude sun and cool alpine nights, which lock in vibrant fruit flavors and fresh acidity. Crafted to be approachable and expressive, the wine undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel to preserve its primary fruit character, resulting in a smooth, juicy, and highly versatile blend that captures the friendly, everyday side of Argentine winemaking.
🍾 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.
