- An opulent and complex wine with intense flavours of black fruits and spicy eucalyptus underlined by toasty vanilla oak and a hint of dark chocolate and coconut.

Each variety was harvested by hand in cases of 18 kilograms. The grapes were carefully selected before being destemmed. A proportion of the grapes were fermented in small tanks of 5,000 litres, a proportion in egg-shaped concrete tanks, and the final in barrels. Selected yeasts were added. Fermentation temperatures were controlled between 25°C and 28°C. Manual punch-downs took place to break the cap of solids; at the beginning of the fermentation, this took place four times per day, reducing to twice per day. The free-run juice was separated from the pressed juice. The malolactic conversion was completed in barrels. The wines were matured in French and American oak barrels for 13 months. The final blend was made before bottling.
Trinità tantalizes the senses with aromatic notes of plum and raspberry, complemented by hints of coffee, chocolate, and spice that unfold across the palate. It is a beautifully balanced wine with ripe tannins, an opulent texture, and a long, intense finish.

Winery | As the name alludes, the Trinità is a precise three-grape blend. Trinità's Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot grapes are grown on 30—to 70-year-old vines in the prestigious Lujan de Cuyo DOC, Agrelo, and the Uco Valley. Cultivated with arid, clean air, crystal clear water, and nutrient-rich soil, the vines are carefully managed to produce low yields of concentrated fruit following a meticulous, low-volume process. |
