100% Malbec
Alberto Antonini and Attilio Pagli, the Malbec specialists behind Altos Las Hormigas, believe that each intervention on the wine means a step away from its origin. While no intervention at all is impossible, the winemakers try to do as little as possible in vinifying. Minimal extraction, neutral oak, natural yeast, very little sulfites are just a few items to mention, that guide us in what we do. They also seek to make wines that are naturally low in alcohol through hand-harvesting as early as possible in each soil type. The dedication to terroir-driven wines at Altos Las Hormigas has transformed not only their philosophy, but the evolution of their wines.
This Malbec has a cheerful red ruby color, with bright violet hues. The nose is intense and fruity, with notes of strawberries, fresh plums and subtle notes of grapefruit that carry through to the palate. Fresh and drinkable with a balanced acidity in the palate and supple tannins.
This is a very food-friendly wine, so there are a lot of options. Try La Danza with roasted and stuffed peppers, potatoes au gratin, stove top dressing, or a turkey burger.
