Uruguayan Red Wine 75 cl Bottle

Traditionally found in Bordeaux, this Petit Verdot is grown on a unique hilltop vineyard. Perfectly adapted to the soils and climate the vines produce fantastic results. The grapes are handpicked, tank fermented and then barrel aged for one year to give wine of structure and ripe concentration. Deep intense colour with spicy black pepper and hazlenut aromas, wonderfully balanced with soft ripe sensations in the mouth and elegant noble tannins in the long finish.

The Pisano vineyards belong to a group of small family vignerons with an artisan tradition of making wines that reflect the character of the land and the people. Francesco Pisano arrived in Uruguay in 1870 from Italy (the great grandfather of the current owners). The original vineyards were planted in 1914 by his son Cesare. Today, this winemaking tradition continues and they produce some of the country`s most prestigious and best wines with distinctive character oriented to the high quality, niche market. These hand crafted wines are produced in limited quantities and total production at the Pisano family cellars is only 18,000 cases per year across the range of these award winning varietals.
