Domaine Nico Histoire d’A Mendoza Pinot Noir

The wine has flavors of fresh red fruit flavors. Domaine Nico is a pioneering winery project. It is the world's first extreme high-altitude parcel Pinot Noir. It is an unusual location for the New World with limestone soil of alluvial origin and cool climate and a labor of love led by Laura Catena (of the renowned Catena Zapata family). The winery focuses exclusively on environment-driven, Burgundian-style Pinot Noir.
