Subject: Sassicaia takes its Pedigree to Argentina


Piero Incisa della Rocchetta, whose grandfather the Marchese created Sassicaia in Bolgheri, has realized a dream to grow Pinot Noir in Patagonia. The winemaker here is Han Vinding Diers of Noemía fame also in Río Negro.

As Piero Incisa says, “Hopefully, because you are curious and want to explore” you will take the challenge to try a different expression of pinot noir.

~Happy to Offer~
2014 Chacra Pinot Noir Barda
Rio Negra, Patagonia
$198 6pack
12 months in French oak barrels

91 Points Wine Advocate

"The just-bottled 2014 Barda could be the longest-lived of the four vintages I tasted. …The palate is medium-bodied, with very primary flavors, fine-grained tannins that should get polish with a little bit of time in bottle. A very complete Pinot from Río Negro. These are the best Pinot Noirs from Argentina, reaching in a vintage like 2013 world-class level. Bravo Piero and Hans!"
Also his “single vineyard” Pinot Noir 55 is arriving in April!

2015 Chacra Pinot Noir Cincuenta y Cinco
Rio Negra, Patagonia
$60 bottle

This vineyard of gnarled and ungrafted Pinot Noir vines was planted in 1955, hence the name!

(not reviewed yet but the 2014 and 2013 both received 94 Points from Wine Advocate.)
