About this wine

Discover Bressia Profundo 2020, a profound and captivating red blend from the high-altitude vineyards of Luján de Cuyo in Mendoza, Argentina. Crafted by the legendary winemaker Walter Bressia, this wine transcends single varietal expression, offering a rich, complex, and elegant reflection of the Agrelo and Uco Valley terroirs. About Bodega Bressia Bodega Bressia is a benchmark producer of premium Argentine wines, known for combining meticulous vineyard practices with a passion for terroir-driven winemaking. The estate focuses on small yields, careful grape selection, and minimal intervention, producing wines that balance intensity, freshness, and elegance. Vineyard & Winemaking Bressia Profundo 2020 is a masterful blend of 50% Malbec, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and 10% Syrah, sourced from vineyards at 3,120 feet above sea level. Vineyards are carefully managed with selective shoot, leaf, and cluster removal to optimize ripeness and concentration. Grapes are hand-harvested, and fermentation occurs at controlled temperatures of 25–27°C. The wine is aged for 10 months in French and American oak barrels, resulting in a structured, nuanced, and age-worthy profile. Tasting Notes Elegant aromas of toasted French oak and red summer berries, with subtle hints of cassis, crème fraîche, and dark spice. The palate is energetic, layered, and precise, with fine-grained oak providing structure while highlighting the wine’s vibrant fruit and mineral undertones. A long, expressive finish completes this remarkable Argentine red. Food Pairing This versatile red is perfect with rack of lamb, grilled steak, hearty vegetable tagines, and mature hard cheeses. Its bold yet refined character also pairs beautifully with Mediterranean-inspired dishes or slow-cooked meats.
