In the glass Intensely aromatic with ripe raspberries alongside floral and liquorice notes. The palate is full, soft and chock full of red berry fruit spiced up by touches of anis, vanilla, and toast from light oak aging. The finish shows soft, sweet tannins and fresh, lively acidity. 13.6% Bonarda is an old Italian grape with its family home in Piedmont, which like so many of its compatriots upped sticks in the early twentieth century and headed for the New World. One of the most planted grapes in its adopted home, it seems to thrive in the pale blue and white stripes of Argentina, producing ripe, characterful wines that seem to keep a subtle suggestion of an Italian accent. A bit about Alamos The Alamos wines are made high up in the Andes by the team at Catena Zapata. Nicolas Catena was the third generation of his family to make wine in Mendoza but the first to see the potential in planting higher and higher vineyards in search of cool climate sites ideal for the production of fine wine. Today, he works with his daughter Laura in their relentless pursuit of the finest possible quality wines from their unique vineyards. (12 x 75 cl)
