✨ Technical Specifications
The 'Fran' range by Nieto Senetiner represents a contemporary, vibrant, and highly approachable expression of Mendoza's classic varietals, crafted to celebrate the joy of casual, everyday moments. Sourced from selected vineyards across Mendoza, where the intense high-altitude sunlight and cool alpine nights of the Andes mountains foster optimal ripeness alongside refreshing acidity, this Cabernet Sauvignon is designed with fruit purity in mind. Unlike the estate's heavy, oak-matured reserve bottlings, the Fran Cabernet Sauvignon is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its bright red fruit profile, gentle herbaceous notes, and soft, rounded tannins. It offers an inviting, easy-drinking window into the historic winemaking heritage of Nieto Senetiner, reimagined for modern wine lovers.
🍾 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.
