{"product_id":"catena-zapata-nicasia-argentine","title":"Catena Zapata - Nicasia - 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eLocated in the heart of the Uco Valley, in the Mendoza region of Argentina, the Catena Zapata Nicasia vineyard is nestled at high altitude near La Consulta, in the San Carlos district. The vines benefit from a continental climate characterized by significant thermal amplitude and intense Andean sunlight. The alluvial soils, composed of well-drained pebbles, sand, and silt, promote slow and complete grape ripening. This mountainous terroir, swept by cool winds, helps preserve a beautiful natural acidity and a great purity of fruit expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginating from the Nicasia vineyard, this wine is made from grapes harvested manually, carefully sorted in the vineyard and then in the winery. Fermentation takes place in tanks with prolonged maceration to extract color, structure, and aromatic complexity, favoring gentle pump-overs to preserve the elegance of the fruit. Aging then occurs in oak barrels, a significant proportion of which are new, for a long period, to refine the tannins, bring spicy notes, and support the aging potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003eblackberry\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eblack cherry\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eplum\u003c\/strong\u003e, complemented by floral touches of \u003cstrong\u003eviolet\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003edried flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e.
