The Premium Tannat Piattelli Vineyards fermentation took place with selected yeasts in stainless steel tanks at controlled and lasted for 10 days. Pump overs and délestage (rack and returns) were implemented during fermentation, in order to achieve the desired levels of extraction and homogenisation. The Premium Tannat Piattelli Vineyards pressing followed immediately without an extended maceration. Malolactic fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks, before being transferred to third use oak barrels for eight months’ maturation.
The vines are grown at high altitude in Cafayate, situated at 1,700 metres above sea-level. It is one of the highest regions in the world suitable for viticulture and this high altitude is what defines the terroir. The vines are exposed to intense sunlight which results in the grapes forming thicker and darker skins to protect themselves from the ultraviolet rays; leading to more colour and flavour concentration in the grapes. The diurnal temperature difference results in an extended ripening season, producing flavoursome grapes with balancing acidity. The trellised vines are grown with minimal intervention in alluvial and sandy loam soils.
The Piattelli Vineyards lie in the foothills of the Andes Mountains, where the century old vines are irrigated by the pure waters melting from the snow crested peaks; significant in making their wines exquisite. At Piattelli Vineyards great pride is taken in crafting wines with a sense of place, as each region has distinct terroirs and microclimates. Led by head winemaker Valeria Antolin, the wines are produced through her passionate pursuit of perfection. Their gravity fed winery in Cafayate honours their commitment to sustainable practices. Piattelli Vineyards practises sustainable farming and their Mendoza vineyards are USDA certified organic. The grapes are cultivated with arid clean air, crystal clear water and nutrient rich soil and their award winning wines are produced with wisdom, precision and care.
