RedArgentina might be Malbec country, but this Cabernet Franc proves there's plenty of room for other varieties to shine in the foothills of the Andes. Montesco has crafted a wine that beautifully expresses Cab Franc's distinctive character while reflecting the unique high-altitude terroir of Mendoza. What makes Piefranc special is how it walks the line between Old World structure and New World fruit expression. The high-altitude vineyards provide intense sunlight for ripening while cool nights preserve the grape's natural acidity and aromatic complexity. The result is a wine with the varietal's characteristic herbaceous notes and graphite minerality, but with a generosity of fruit that makes it immediately appealing. It's Cab Franc that doesn't require a wine degree to appreciate – though wine geeks will find plenty to contemplate in its nuanced layers.
