Pulenta Estate, III, Cabernet Sauvignon, Mendoza, Argentina 2021

The Pulenta Family has been linked to Argentine viticulture for four generations. The children of the winemaker Antonio Pulenta and descendants of Italian immigrants, Eduardo and Hugo Pulenta who arrived from Italy in 1902, and have been making wine since 1912, gave birth to the Pulenta Estate in 2002, to celebrate the family’s arrival in Argentina 100 years before, bringing experience and the most skilled workforce. Eduardo (son) and Diego Pulenta, are part of the 4th generation that help run this family estate. At present, we adapt to the new paradigms that our consumers require.

The estate consists of two vineyards located in key areas of Mendoza: Finca La Zulema in Agrelo and Viñedos Don Antonio in Los Arboles, a district of the Uco Valley. These contrasting vineyards have complex alluvial soils and distinct altitudes which, when blended, help give Pulenta wines their distinctive style. The grapes come from the Finca La Zulema vineyard, where the alluvial soils contain a mix of sandy loam and clay. Aromas of dried fruits, tobacco and smoke give way to vibrant black fruits and herbaceous notes on the palate. The tannins are soft and velvety, yet still bring structure and weight and a gentle acidity lifts the 5nish.
