Matervini Tinto Malbec 2019 – Uco Valley’s Under-The-Radar Rockstar

Tasting Notes

Let’s cut the wine‑nerd fluff. This Tinto pours deep ruby‑violet, firing off blackberries, fresh violets, and exotic spice. On the palate: sleek dark fruit, a hint of black coffee, and a lift of peppery tension, all wrapped in fresh acidity and firm tannins. Think Andes altitude wrapped in polished structure—Malbec that doesn’t just pour, it performs.

Meet the Winemakers

Say hello to Santiago Achával (yes, the Malbec legend behind Achaval-Ferrer) and Italian roll‑up‑your‑sleeves ace Roberto Cipresso. Matervini is their terroir love letter to Mendoza, and Tinto is the approachable, expressive opener to that story—with a nod to elegance and no ego.
