The Emilia line from the historic Nieto Senetiner estate is named in honor of Emilia Nieto, celebrating the pioneering women who helped shape the winery's legacy in Mendoza. Crafted to embody a fresh, youthful, and highly expressive style, this Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from selected high-altitude vineyards in Mendoza. Here, the dramatic diurnal temperature shifts and intense Andean sunlight allow the grapes to develop rich aromatic profiles while retaining a vibrant, mouthwatering acidity. To preserve the pristine fruit character and classic herbaceous qualities of the varietal, the wine undergoes cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks with absolutely no oak influence, resulting in a bright, clean, and incredibly refreshing coastal-influenced mountain white.
🍾 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.
