Tolentino Malbec

High-Altitude Intensity from Mendoza Vintage Pioneers

Journey to the breathtaking foothills of the Andes Mountains with Tolentino Malbec, an incredibly expressive, high-altitude red wine that showcases the pinnacle of Argentine viticulture. Crafted by Bodega Cuarto Dominio—a boutique winery spearheaded by fourth-generation winemakers Javier Catena and Andrés Blanchard—this striking single-vineyard selection serves as a heartfelt tribute to the family’s Italian ancestor who first planted vines in Mendoza back in 1902.

Sourced from older vines in the prestigious La Consulta sub-region of the Uco Valley, this Malbec thrives at an elevation of 3,600 feet above sea level. The intense mountain sunlight combined with freezing alpine nights yields a wine with extraordinary fruit concentration and a bright, natural spine of balancing acidity. Fermented at cool temperatures and aged for six to eight months in premium French oak barrels, Tolentino beautifully tames its inherent mountain power into a deeply polished, velvety masterpiece.

Taste Profile & Pairings

• The Profile: Radiant, dark violet in the glass with a concentrated, medium-to-full body, an incredibly sleek mouthfeel, and a remarkably balanced, structured delivery.

• Flavor Highlights: A dense bouquet of fresh blueberries, blackcurrant compote, crushed violets, and sweet sandalwood moves effortlessly into a plush palate laden with blackberries, rich mocha, cloves, and a dusting of dark baking chocolate.

• Perfect Food Pairings: This structured, fruit-forward Argentine red is a champion at the dinner table. Pair it alongside classic grilled ribeye steak, slow-braised short ribs, traditional spiced beef empanadas, roasted lamb with rosemary, or hard aged cheeses like Manchego.

• Serving Suggestion: Pour into large-bowled red wine glasses and allow to breathe for 15 to 20 minutes before enjoying to let the dark cocoa and rich floral aromatics completely unfold.
