Vineyard & Varietal Information

Perfect for producing Gran Reserva quality Cabernet Sauvignon, Piedmont is one of Rosario’s prized soils. Found anywhere from 3 to 20 degrees along the estate’s slopes, this mineral rich soil is the result of time slowly eroding away the Aculeo Hill. Considering its texture and an abundance of angular stones, the vines’ roots are able to explore freely, resulting in wines with good acidity, length and rich tannins. The name Piedmont refers to soils from foothills.

Wine Spectator

89 Points // Tightly wound at the moment, featuring abundant five-spice details that surround a concentrated blackberry core, with floral notes and vibrant, minerally acidity driving the finish. Concludes with structured tannins and a toasty mocha note. Drink now.

Wine Enthusiast

90 Points // This red is fresh, revealing aromas of white pepper, green bell pepper and a touch of mint. It shows a herbaceous character with a balancing amount of fruit flavors that complement the palate. Green bell pepper, spices and dried herbs blend with notes of berries and chocolate. The wine shows lively acidity and firm tannins to handle the flavors. It’s slightly warm in the finish, but still very enjoyable.

James Suckling

91 Points // Spicy nose with black cherries, olives, dried herbs and undergrowth. Juicy and well structured with tight tannins with a smooth, supple mouth-feel.
