TASTING "Bodega Patritti" - San Patricio del Chañar - Neuquen
Patritti Winery is located in San Patricio del Chañar - Neuquén and began by the year 2003. With the collaboration of renowned winemaker Mariano Di Paola (La Rural - Catena) developed and began to enter their wines in the foreign and domestic.
I was able to attend a wine tasting, nicely directed by his owner Mr. Patritti and made possible by Vinopolis of Viedma. We tested a Pinot Noir 2008 ($ 70) Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 ($ 65), Malbec 2008 ($ 60) and a 2008 Merlot and unlabeled still early to market.
is noteworthy that the winery has the possibility of making wine in stainless steel tanks. masonry and pools, which greatly expands their ability to use different techniques to the manufacture of certain types of wines. Stainless steel tanks. conical (type slab) are a special development which allows the hat must be removed more easily pushed and down in a conventional cylindrical tank.
wines I tasted are very neat in its development with trends shallow color, type claret, but with good aromas, varietal typicality and body / medium persistence. You have French oak aging for 12 months. I dwell on the analysis of Merlot 2008 which was the one I liked:
FIRSTBORN Merlot 2008 ($ 75): This wine has been produced 8400 bottles and has 12 months French oak barrels for first use.
Color: ruby \u200b\u200bred course, some tile, gloss medium, but very clear and average depth.
Aroma: fruity red fruit, raspberry, plum, some earth and vanilla. Average volume of aroma.
Taste: smooth, structured and round, light tannins; the attack is just sweet and has good acidity. Very good balance in the mouth, fills the mouth in a very even. Its alcohol content is 14.1 °, has medium body and very good persistence.
Conclusion: Wine "claret" and round and persistent, it is still some tannin because of their youth, but surely evolve for the better in the bottle in a year or two. I really liked the Merlot, had long since proved not a very sensitive and staff. I was reminded, yet again, because the Merlot found its climax in Patagonia.
