ABOUT THIS WINE
Del Pedregal Seleccion Tannat 2017 is a 100% Tannat red wine from Antigua Bodega Stagnari in the Canelones region of Uruguay. The Stagnari family, with Italian roots dating back to 1928, now in its sixth generation, produces wines that reflect their heritage and the specific terroir. The vineyards in Santos Lugares are situated on stony soils with a shallow sandy clay topsoil over a pink granite bedrock, a characteristic that influences the wine's intensity and concentration. The 2017 vintage provided favorable conditions for Tannat, allowing for optimal maturity and a balanced expression of the grape.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes for Del Pedregal Seleccion Tannat are hand-harvested and carefully selected. The winemaking process involves a 15-day maceration period, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine then undergoes six months of aging in American oak barrels. The 2017 vintage conditions in Uruguay were conducive to achieving optimal maturity and balance in the Tannat grapes.
