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.
🍾 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.
