✨ Technical Specifications
While Nieto Senetiner is historically anchored in the warm, traditional terroirs of Luján de Cuyo, their exploration of Mendoza's cooler, high-altitude microclimates led to the creation of this elegant Pinot Noir. Sourced from selected vineyards where the intense alpine sunlight is balanced by cool mountain breezes, this wine showcases a different side of Argentine viticulture. The winemaking team focuses on preserving the delicate, ethereal nature of the grape, utilizing gentle extraction and careful aging in French oak to complement rather than overpower the fruit. The result is a refined expression of Pinot Noir that captures the purity of Mendoza's high-altitude terroir, marked by vibrant red berry aromas, subtle earthy complexity, and a soft, velvety texture.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1888 by Italian immigrants in Vistalba, Bodega Nieto Senetiner stands as one of the historic pillars of Luján de Cuyo viticulture. Acquired by the Nieto and Senetiner families in 1969 and integrated into Molinos Río de la Plata in 1998, the estate commands prime holdings across Vistalba and Agrelo, including Finca Villa Blanca and Finca Las Tortugas. Situated between 950 and 1,150 meters above sea level against the Andean backdrop, the vineyards thrive on alluvial clay-loam and gravelly soils subjected to wide diurnal temperature shifts and intense high-altitude sunlight. Winemaker Santiago Mayorga crafts both classic reds and pristine, aromatic whites and rosés with modern precision. While globally acclaimed for benchmark Malbec and heritage Bonarda, the estate demonstrates deft mastery of aromatic and refreshing profiles through everyday and fruit-forward ranges such as Benjamín, Fran, and Emilia, preserving pure varietal expression, vibrant natural acidity, and refined balance across Torrontés, Moscatel de Alejandría, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay.
