Tasting notes
The 2019 Volturno is 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Malbec and 4% Cabernet Franc from Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza. Garnet red in the glass. The aromas include pepper and notes of candied fruit, such as blackcurrant and redcurrant, with gentle hints of red pepper and cardamom. The palate is delicate yet energetic, with subtle textures and mild freshness. Rounded tannins and a broad flow. A ripe, refined red that will improve greatly in the bottle.

Aromas of blackcurrants, roses, violets and pipe tobacco. Full-bodied with very tight and fine tannins that run for the whole length of the wine. Seamless and agile with a weightless feel to this. Fabulous precision and persistence. 88% cabernet sauvignon, 11% malbec and 1% cabernet franc. Drink after 2025.
