Sottano Winery in Mendoza, Argentina

02.JUL.10, 11:59 During our constant job of visiting wineries we had the opportunity to know the concept of Sottano Winery, together with the final product´s responsible, the winemaker. This time, the company welcomed us with a complete tasting where we could be introduced to the wine style and chat with Adrian Toledo, its winemaker, who had a great disposal and clarity to explain how he faces the process towards a defined style of the wine.

Already in the steel tanks area, we began tasting wines, a 2009 Merlot and Malbec from its classic line and a Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2009. Coming from Tupungato and Lujan de Cuyo vineyards, the wines showed the tipicity of both terroirs, color and fruit concentration and intense flavors, considering that they haven´t finished the process but with a good and interesting potential.

Adrian started making wines there in 2005 and commented us about the initial work to define his own wine profile, thinking about developing the best characteristics of the grape and soil to transmit them to the bottle.

In the tasting room, we continued with a fresh Chardonnay, fruity, mineral with toasted notes, showing a good mouth and firm acidity, structure and attractive finish, interesting white wine achieved with an acquired and subtle malolactic fermentation and a small percentage of oak barrel aging completing a balanced and tasty product.

After that, we tasted a Classic Malbec (Tupungato) with a good red concentration, of a fresh and fruity nose, marmalade aromas, smooth mouth attack, structured and balanced acidity, leaving a harmonious and persistent finish of an Uco Valley wine.

We continued tasting the Petit Verdot (Lujan de Cuyo), a very tasty varietal in my opinion, in this case, a wine of well-marked colors, deep, fresh and fruity, powerful in the mouth with nice and firm presence, its tannins round a special and long-finish wine.

Finally we tasted vertically the “Judas” 2007 and 2008, no doubt, both wines of a great complexity generally, with cooked and ripened fruits in the nose, its oak and harmony of lactic aromas, and a magnificent taste, meaty and elegant.

I would like to thank Mr. Adrian Toledo for the time and dedication he offers in this duty of making wines in Mendoza, who could reflect step by step the work he develops every day to obtain Sottano Wines, and this involves the testing of each one of them to realize about the clear and defined style of his wines.
