Description

DV Catena Malbec Nicasia 2023 is an elegant and complex wine, crafted from selected grapes from the prestigious Nicasia Vineyard, in the heart of the Uco Valley. It displays a deep red color with violet hues and outstanding aromatic intensity that clearly reflects the identity of its terroir.

“On the nose, it is intense and concentrated, with notes of ripe blackberries, forest berries, vanilla, tobacco, and delicate liqueur-like nuances contributed by oak aging. On the palate, it is broad and generous, with a sweet impression and great complexity, supported by smooth, rounded tannins that lead to a long and persistent finish. A refined Malbec, ideal for pairing with game dishes and richly flavored meats.”
