MIL DEMONIOS
GITANO MALBEC 2020
TERROIR BLEND • HAUTE COUTURE WINEMAKING • MENDOZA
"A nomadic soul roaming the finest vineyards of the Andes to capture the vibrant, silky essence of Argentine Malbec."
The Mystique of the Nomadic Blend
The Mil Demonios Gitano 2020 is born from an itinerant selection of the winery's best Malbec barrels. It is a "gypsy" wine because it is not tied to a single vineyard; it seeks the perfect harmony between the floral freshness of the high-altitude areas of the Uco Valley and the sweet ripeness of Luján de Cuyo. The result is an author's Malbec of superior elegance, where fresh red fruit coexists with notes of violets and a velvety mouthfeel that defines the new standard of Argentine luxury.
