frequently asked questions (faqs)
Is Pilatos a heavily oaked wine?
No. Pilatos seeks balance. Oak is used as an aging tool to polish tannins, but the absolute priority is the fruity and floral expression of Malbec.
What differentiates this label from others by Sin Reglas?
Pilatos focuses on "purity of judgment." While other labels like Vikingo seek extreme power, Pilatos aims for the harmony and elegance of the pure varietal.
What is the recommended serving temperature?
It is recommended to serve between 14°C and 16°C. If served a bit cooler, its fruity profile will be enhanced, and it will be livelier on the palate.
