Finca Adalgisa Malbec Luján de Cuyo 2017
100% Malbec from their six-acre estate vineyard in Chacras de Coria, planted in 1916. The vineyard sits at an elevation of 3000 feet above sea-level; the soils are a mix of alluvial, sand, and loam. The fruit is hand-picked and fermented with native yeast before it is aged two years in a mix of French oak of different ages, and then another year in bottle.
Finca Adalgisa Malbec shows notes of blackberries, warm blueberry pancakes, and maraschino cherries while being intensely layered with baking spices of clove, cinnamon, sage, licorice, and cedar. Light hints of orange peel, eucalyptus, white powdered sugar and red velvet cake dance around the core. The wine finishes with integrated earth components of soil, dry crushed leaves, and an animal quality that screams being alive.
Finca Adalgisa Malbec is an authentic wine born from a singular vineyard, made with grapes of the highest quality and full of passion and goodness.

Finca Adalgisa is located in the Chacras de Coria sub region of Luján 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.
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.
This is considered the smallest winery in Argentina and produces less than 500cs per year, with only 50cs coming to the USA every year, and we believe that their wine is one of the most elegant, Bordelaise expressions of Malbec that we’ve ever encountered.
