About this wine

Bodega Bressia is one of Mendoza's most respected terroir-driven producers, situated in some of the region's most remote and elevated vineyard sites. Their philosophy centres on wines of elegance and balance that reflect the unique character of their high-altitude origins — and Monteagrelo Cabernet Franc is a compelling expression of exactly that. Why You'll Love It This is Cabernet Franc from the high Andes at its most pure and compelling — fresh, concentrated, and beautifully refined. Sourced from vineyards between 940 and 1,100 metres above sea level in the Valle de Uco and Agrelo regions, Monteagrelo offers a contemporary, mountain-fresh take on the variety that sets it apart from richer, heavier New World reds. Twelve months in French oak adds complexity without masking the wine's natural finesse and varietal character. Vineyard & Production Grapes are sourced from high-altitude vineyards at 940–1,100 metres above sea level across Mendoza's Valle de Uco and Agrelo regions, trained vertically at 6,500 plants per hectare. The cool nights and intense Andean sunlight at this altitude preserve natural acidity and aromatic purity. The wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, building complexity and structure while maintaining the variety's characteristic freshness and finesse. Tasting Notes The nose exudes the purity of mountain air — aromas of cassis, crushed rocks, cherry tomato, and subtle graphite lead onto a concentrated yet refined palate. Classic Cabernet Franc varietal character shines through, with a fresh, contemporary finish that lingers with elegance and precision. Perfect Pairings A superb match for grilled ribeye steak, lamb cutlets with rosemary, duck confit, mutton curry, roasted aubergine, or aged hard cheeses. The wine's structure and freshness make it equally at home with rich meat dishes and more aromatic, spiced cuisine. The Blend Cabernet Franc 100%
