During the mid 1880s, Pascual Toso set out towards Argentina from his home town of Canale D’Alba, in Piamonte, Italy. He could not have imagined that he would become the founder of a winery, which is today one of the oldest and most prestigious wineries in Argentina. Since the winery was founded in 1890, Bodegas y Vińedos Pascual Toso has become one of the most exciting and promising Argentine wineries and remains faithful to its principles: Tradition, Authenticity and Innovation. In 2001, the Bodega hired renowned winemaking consultant Paul Hobbs for a new high quality wine project working closely with chief winemaker Rolando Luppino on the development of premium and super-premium wines.

This superb wine is round and inviting with ripe black fruit on the nose. The palate has notes of blackberry and plummy fruit. The finish is rich and long with smoky vanilla and soft, supple tannins.

Aged for 12 months in new oak barrels: 20% French and 80% American.

Food Match: Enjoy with aubergine parmigiana or roast game
