"Attractive aromas of red and dark berries, crushed walnuts, dried flowers and stone. Medium-bodied, juicy and bright on the palate with fine tannins and a sleek, textural finish. 48% charbono, 45% malbec and 7% semillon. Drink now or hold."

"The 2021 Tinto is a blend of 48% Bonarda, 45% Malbec and 7% Semillon fermented in stainless steel and matured in concrete for nine months. It's quite different from the Bonarda and the Malbec, co-fermented with a touch of white, and comes through as aromatic and floral, quite complex and surprising for this price. It's a blend with personality, juicy and medium bodied. In the past, they always used a little bit of white to make red wines, and the truth is, it works! They have now added Blend to the label, because nobody understood what Tinto was... Simplicity is sometimes not easy to understand... 40,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2022."
