Familia Furlotti "Malbec" Mendoza, Argentina 2020

FROM BRAZOS WINE IMPORTS:

THE WINE: 100% Malbec.

THE PRODUCER: Finca Adalgisa is located in the Chacras de Coria sub region of Lujan de Cuyo in Mendoza, Argentina. The estate goes back three generations within the Furlotti family when they planted 0.85 hectares of primarily Malbec in 1916. Gabriela Furlotti built an eleven room boutique hotel in 2000 on the property surrounding the vineyard. They produce only one wine which is made by beloved winemaker Carmelo Patti. Carmelo focuses on balance and terroir and is one of the few Argentine vignerons to bottle age before release. Adalgisa produces less than 500 cases per year, and we believe that their wine is one of the most elegant, Bordelaise expressions of Malbec that we’ve ever encountered.
