Is it better than Gran Malbec?

It's not a question of superiority, but of style. While Malbec is more fruity and round, Cabernet Franc offers a more spiced elegance and a more linear and vertical structure.

Does it need decanting?

Yes, as it is a wine of great concentration and complexity, we recommend decanting it at least 45 to 60 minutes before consumption to allow it to express itself fully.

What makes it a "Grand" category wine?

Its selection of grapes from the best plots, the prolonged time in first-use barrels, and the artisanal care in each stage of its production by the Pulenta family.
