VIÑA ÚNICA CABERNET FRANC

Finca Ambrosía is located in the Gualtallary area, in the department of Tupungato. Its geological conditions make it a unique terroir in Argentina. It has a cool climate and altitude, which provides balanced pH and acidity that are optimal when the grapes reach maturity. This area is ideal for growing vines due to its peculiar soil formation. These are based on highly calcareous gravel from the Quaternary era and have a low clay content, which is another important factor in the development of vines. Therefore, this combination makes the area the perfect ecosystem that allows plants to grow with naturally controlled vigor.

CATA's notes:
This Cabernet Franc was produced with grapes from our extraordinary vineyard located in the Gualtallary District, Department of Tupungato, in the heart of the Uco Valley. Where the soil has a high content of lime that enhances the mineral character and gives structure to the tannins. It was fermented with native yeasts. In addition to a gentle maceration for 25 days, before pneumatic pressing. Malolactic fermentation in new and used French oak barrels, Burgundy cooperage, where it was then aged for 15 months.
