Chakana - Ayni 2020 (750ml) Corton Bressandes Grand Cru95 Points JD The Pelizzatti family can trace their winemaking roots back to 19th century Italy, so its only fitting that in 2002 they founded a new estate in Agrelo in Argentina's top wine region of Mendoza. In total the property has 120 hectares of vines with some particularly prized plots in the high altitude Uco Valley where conditions are ideal for premium winemaking. Recently, the Pelizzattis have embraced both organic and biodynamic winemaking

Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot are harvested by hand – with only the most perfect berries reserved for the wines

and the vines are planted on clay with calcareous substratus and limestone emerging rocks

a pretty sweet set of vineyards going into our most entry level bottling

the tannins are well rounded and the finish is long

toasty and very complex

Notes of mature elderberry

long and powerful with great fruit and spice on the finish

A social wine

Super spicy and forward
