Calisto Reserva Malbec 2021

Description

About Calisto Wines
Calisto Wines is the personal project of renowned Mendoza winemaker Romina Carparelli, who, after more than 20 years crafting wines at emblematic wineries like Pulenta Estate and Vistalba, decided to take a bold step: creating her own wine, with her own voice.
Romina doesn’t aim to make wines for the masses or to win awards. With Calisto, she seeks to convey an intimate philosophy: authentic, elegant, and emotional wines, crafted without haste, without pre-set formulas, respecting the character of the terroir, and allowing each bottle to tell a story.
Calisto wines are born from iconic sites in the Uco Valley, such as Altamira and La Consulta, worked with minimal intervention, native yeast fermentations, and carefully measured aging in French barrels. These are wines meant to evolve, surprise, and stir emotions — beyond trends or scores.
When you drink a Calisto, you’re not just enjoying an age-worthy Malbec: you’re connecting with the most personal project of a woman who chose to stop making wines for others and start speaking from her own essence.

Calisto Reserva Malbec 2021

The Calisto Reserva Malbec 2021 is a wine that reflects the most sophisticated essence of Mendoza Malbec. Crafted from a meticulous selection of clusters from vineyards in Los Árboles, Uco Valley, this wine combines intensity and elegance in every glass.
"With an intense violet-red color and brilliant highlights, it offers aromas of black fruits, violets, and mineral notes characteristic of its origin terroir. On the palate, it is enveloping, with round, sweet tannins and vibrant acidity that brings freshness and balance. The finish is long, persistent, and deeply elegant."
