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.
🍾 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.
