Peirano Heritage Collection Malbec 2018 750 ML

The Lodi appellation is an ideal growing region for this varietal and is very similar with that of the Malbec’s most popular growing area, the high and dry Mendoza region of Argentina. Here in Lodi, long warm days are moderated by cool temperatures sliding down the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountain range during the evenings. The fruit was patiently selected and HAND-PICKED into small bins to maintain health and quality. The 2021 Malbec was lightly crushed into tank for fermentation on its skins to dryness. It was then pressed and settled before being moved and aged for 12 months in French and American oak barrels, of which 15% was new oak.
