Trivento's flagship Eolo Malbec is born from a singular, historic vineyard planted in 1912 on the high-altitude terraces of Lulunta, Luján de Cuyo, along the northern bank of the Mendoza River. Named after Aeolus, the Greek god of the winds, Eolo pays tribute to the forces of nature that define Mendoza's unique climate. This centenarian vineyard, irrigated by the traditional flood method using pure Andean snowmelt, yields tiny, highly concentrated berries. The wine is crafted with meticulous care, undergoing gravity-fed vinification and aging for 18 months in French oak barrels, followed by an extended period in the bottle. The result is a profound, deeply expressive Malbec that balances intense dark fruit, floral violet notes, and complex mineral undertones with velvety, age-worthy tannins.
