Argento Single Vineyard Altamira Malbec 2021 Review
While Argentina’s Malbec market is vast, single-vineyard expressions at this price point remain a rarity. This organically grown example comes from a 50-acre site that sits at over 3,600 feet of elevation in Mendoza. The nose is deeply earthy, blending aromas of berry jam, dried herbs, and soil. The palate is where the wine truly shines, featuring refreshing acidity that highlights bright, mineral-driven fruit.
