WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Spinsanti Malbec 2022 is produced from hand-harvested grapes. The winemaking process involves fermentation of the must in stainless steel tanks, a technique chosen to preserve the wine's fruit-forward profile. Notably, the wine undergoes aging without oak, allowing the characteristics of the grape and its high-altitude Mendoza origin to be expressed directly. The grapes are sourced from the Don Antonio Estate in Los Arboles, Tunuyan, Valle de Uco, which is drip-irrigated with meltwater from the Andes.
