Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS)
What does the name Aruma mean?
Aruma means "night" in Quechua, the language of the Incas. The name expresses the intensity of the Andean nights and the depth of color that characterizes Malbec.
Does this wine see any oak?
No. Unlike CARO and Petit CARO, Aruma does not go through oak barrels: it is fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve the purity of the fruit and the varietal freshness of Malbec.
Should it be decanted?
It is not strictly necessary, as it is a very open, fruity wine from the moment it is opened, but about 15 minutes in the glass helps it express its floral palette.
