WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Marcelo Pelleriti Malbec emphasizes the expression of high-altitude terroir in Mendoza's Uco Valley. Grapes are sourced from vineyards, some with vines planted as early as 1907, benefiting from the region's intense sunlight and cool nights. Fermentation likely takes place in controlled environments, possibly including stainless steel and oak, to manage extraction and preserve varietal character. The wine undergoes aging in French oak barrels, a technique that imparts structure and complexity. The harvest timing and conditions are carefully managed, with recent vintages reflecting distinct climatic influences that shape the final wine's profile.
