✨ Technical Specifications
Part of Trapiche's acclaimed Terroir Series, this single-vineyard Malbec pays tribute to Cristina and Bibiana Coletto, sisters who dedicated their lives to preserving their family's historic estate in El Peral, Tupungato, within the high-altitude Uco Valley. Planted in 1955 by their father, Enzo Coletto, the old vines thrive at an elevation of over 1,100 meters, where intense solar radiation and cool mountain nights forge grapes of remarkable concentration and acidity. The wine is crafted using traditional fermentation followed by extensive aging in French oak barrels, resulting in a profound expression of old-vine Malbec that balances dark fruit intensity, mineral tension, and floral elegance.
