Piedra Negra Reserve Organic Malbec

Bodega Piedra Negra was established in 1996. François Lurton was the first person to plant vines in the foothills of the Andes Cordillera at an altitude of 1,100 metres above sea level in semi-desert conditions in the middle of what would become the Geographical Indication of Los Chacayes. The poor, gravelly, alluvial soil reminded him of Pessac-Léognan in Bordeaux! Drawing on expertise acquired all over the world, he immediately introduced environmentally friendly growing methods. His 99 hectares of vines are managed organically and in adherence to biodynamic principles.

This wine has a complex nose with a mixture of red berries and spicy aromas of black pepper with delicate notes of chocolate, coffee and vanilla coming from the oak. A structured and complex wine with pleasant tannins that provide sweetness and a long finish.  The wine is matured in second fill French oak for a period of 8-10 months.

The wine pairs well with grilled red meats, especially ribeye steak, pizza and fresh pasta with Carbonara sauce.
