The Wine The Wine
Argentina
Region:Mendoza - Uco Valley
Grown at the foot of the towering Andes, this Los Chacayes Cabernet Franc captures the pure desert intensity of the high Uco Valley. After three months in a mix of American and French oak, it is vibrant and expressive, opening with aromas of goji berry, ripe strawberry and tomato skin. The palate is juicy and structured, full of energy and texture, with gently grippy tannins carrying the flavours through a long, poised finish that clearly reflects its high altitude provenance.
The Winemaker The Winemaker
Leonardo Pisano
Born into a Uruguayan winemaking family, Leo Pisano moved to Mendoza at 18 to study oenology, and the Uco Valley captured him so completely he never left. With more than 20 harvests behind him, he now leads the winemaking at Bodega Urqo, where the Urquia family has transformed 300 hectares of raw high-altitude desert into a strikingly modern estate. Their vineyards in Los Chacayes and Tupungato thrive under intense mountain light and sandy, mineral soils, producing fruit of remarkable character. Guided by Leo, with the support of respected consultant Daniel Pi, the wines express the purity and energy of the Andes.
"Cabernet Franc is a varietal that loves the mountains and the pure desert air. Ours is a great expression of the region and this classic varietal." - Leonardo Pisano, Winemaker.
