CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Vinous - "The 2021 Pinot Noir Histoire d'A from Gualtallary, Uco Valley was aged for 15 months in a third new barrels. A bright garnet red in the glass. The nose is shy initially but eventually offers up sour cherry and strawberry with damp earth and herbs over a bed of wood and vanilla. Austere in the mouth, the feel is silky and vibrant with intense flavor and delicate freshness before the languorous, nuanced finish."


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "The 2021 Histoire d’A Pinot Noir comes from the Monasterio subzone of Gualtallary (still not officially approved) at 1,350 meters in altitude. It fermented with 50% full clusters and aged exclusively in used oak. The wine has a pale and delicate color and a delicate, floral and perfumed nose, with less oak than previous years. It has moderate 12.5% alcohol and a very fine thread in the palate with very fine tannins. It's an improvement over previous years."
