Crafted in the high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza, the Nieto Senetiner Reserva Malbec & Petit Verdot represents a masterful dialogue between two distinct grape varieties. While Malbec brings its signature plush black fruit, velvety texture, and deep violet hues, the late-ripening Petit Verdot introduces robust structure, vibrant acidity, and exotic notes of wild spice and graphite. This blend pays homage to the pioneering spirit of Mendoza's early viticulturists, utilizing carefully selected grapes that undergo traditional fermentation and aging in oak barrels. The result is a wine of remarkable depth and complexity, capturing both the sun-drenched warmth of the Argentine Andes and the refined elegance that has defined the estate for over a century.
🍾 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.
