Pulenta Gran Corte VII 2015
Impressive dark fruit in complex, primary mode; the blackberries and cherries are a highlight, as well as cassis and blueberries. The palate has immaculately seamless texture and fruit depth. Opulent flavors are held in astutely crafted tannins. Very long. Very good. A blend of 44 per cent malbec, 25 per cent cabernet sauvignon, 19 per cent merlot, seven per cent petit verdot and five per cent tannat. Drink or hold.
About Pulenta Estate
The Pulenta Family has been linked to Argentine viticulture for four generations. The children of the winemaker Antonio Pulenta and descendants of Italian immigrants, Eduardo and Hugo Pulenta, gave birth to Pulenta Estate in 2002, bringing experience and the most skilled workforce.
The tradition, knowledge, and experience of the family acquired during 100 years since the arrival of Angelo Polenta y Palmina Spinssanti to Argentina, live today in Pulenta Estate.
Our mission is to produce a limited series of great wines, proudly made in Argentina.
