Montesco Piefranc Cab Franc

Argentina 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.
