Nieto Senetiner has been a pioneer in elevating Bonarda from a humble blending grape to a premium, single-varietal star of Argentina. The Partida Limitada Bonarda represents the pinnacle of this endeavor, sourced from select parcels of ancient, low-yielding vines in Mendoza. Historically, Bonarda arrived in Argentina with Italian immigrants in the late 19th century, often confused with Barbera before being identified as the Savoie variety Corbeau (also known as Charbono). Under the careful guidance of the estate's winemakers, this limited-release wine is crafted using traditional fermentation followed by aging in French oak barrels. The result is a deeply colored, complex red that showcases the grape's intense dark fruit character, velvety tannins, and vibrant acidity, proving that Bonarda can stand proudly alongside the country's finest Malbecs.
🍾 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.
