Aniello - 006 - Riverside Estate - Pinot Noir 2020
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 Pinot Noir is made from Pinot Noir grapes from the district of Mainque. The grapes undergo cold maceration followed by alcoholic fermentation with native yeasts in concrete vats and stainless steel tanks, with 30% whole bunches. The malolactic fermentation happens in tank. Part of the wine was aged in French oak barrels for 12 months.
Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir
