✨ Technical Specifications
Trivento's Golden Reserve Black Series Cabernet Franc represents a sophisticated exploration of Mendoza's high-altitude terroirs, where this classic Bordeaux variety has found an exceptional second home. Sourced from hand-selected parcels in premium sub-regions like the Uco Valley, the vines benefit from intense Andean sunlight and dramatic diurnal temperature swings. This unique climate, shaped by the region's legendary mountain winds, allows the Cabernet Franc grapes to achieve optimal phenolic ripeness while retaining their vibrant natural acidity. In the cellar, the wine undergoes careful maceration and is aged in French oak barrels, resulting in a structured, elegant red that beautifully balances the grape's signature herbal and graphite notes with rich dark fruit and refined tannins.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1996 as the Argentine venture of the renowned wine group Viña Concha y Toro, Bodega Trivento is situated in Maipú within the premier winemaking heart of Mendoza, Argentina. The estate takes its poetic name from the three signature winds—the Polar, Zonda, and Sudestada—that sweep across the Andean foothills, actively shaping the microclimates and health of the vines. Emphasizing modern, sustainable viticulture alongside precise cellar craft, the winery sources fruit from prime high-altitude vineyards across the Uco Valley, Luján de Cuyo, and Maipú. Trivento is celebrated internationally for its bold, fruit-forward red wines, particularly its benchmark Malbec bottlings such as the Golden Reserve and the ultra-premium icon Eolo, as well as refreshing white and sparkling offerings.
