Aniello - 006 - Riverside Estate - Chardonnay 2019
Bodega Aniello is located in Rio Negro, in Patagonia, Argentina. It was founded by Raffaele De Angelis, from Vinicola De Angelis in Sorrento, Italy. The winery is located in a desert climate, with a wide temperature range that allows the natural acidity in the grapes to be preserved. The strong winds of Patagonia caused the grapes to develop a thicker skin, favouring the concentration of tannins, colour and diversity of aromas. The estate spread over 55 hectares cultivated with Malbec, Trousseau, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay. Due to the low ambient humidity, the grape-growing can be made almost fully organically.
006 Chardonnay is made from Chardonnay grapes from the district of Mainque. The harvest is manual, the fermentation is made in concrete vat and only a portion goes through malolactic fermentation. Only 10% of the wine is aged in French oak barriques.
Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay
