2021 Balbo Signature Brioso, Single Vineyard-Agrelo, Mendoza, Argentina

This blend is characterized by its intense, brilliant ruby-red color. Its nose offers aromas of black fruits, spice and light vegetal notes that are due to the two Cabernets. Meanwhile, the other grapes add texture and roundness to its mouth, where flavors of black fruits are followed by an excellent tension provided by its balanced natural acidity. It has an elegant, persistent finish and an exceptional aging potential (up to 20 years).

Brioso means “a spirited love of challenge” and it expresses my passionate drive to create a wine that reaches the pinnacle of quality. Refined and elegant, this red blend results from the combination of my winemaking skills, knowledge and the uniqueness of Agrelo, one of the best terroirs in Argentina.

Fabricio Portelli, Argentinian wine critic, described it as “Voluptuous and elegant, Young in its textures, but mature in its expressions, and with a pleasant freshness that adds deepness in every sip. (…) A great wine to enjoy now or save for later”.
