✨ Technical Specifications
Named in honor of Emilia Nieto, a key figure in the family's legacy, the Emilia Malbec represents the fresher, more vibrant side of Mendoza's signature grape. Sourced from high-altitude vineyards across Mendoza, this wine is crafted to showcase primary fruit expression rather than heavy oak influence. The winemaking process focuses on temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation to preserve the intense aromas of fresh plums, cherries, and violets. It is a modern tribute to the estate's heritage, offering an approachable, smooth, and highly expressive introduction to Argentine Malbec.
🍾 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.
