The Story

While under the radar in the United States, Carmelo Patti is very well known throughout Argentina for this “cult” Cabernet Sauvignon bottling. This single vineyard Cabernet from Perdriel is more European in style than most examples you will find there, the result of vineyard work that favors balance and finesse over power, native yeast fermentation, traditional elevage, and extended aging in bottle prior to release.

About Carmelo Patti

Brand Story

If you're lucky enough to secure an appointment, a visit to Carmelo Patti's small, rustic winery in Lujan de Cuyo will be one of the more memorable wine tours of your life. Carmelo is one of Mendoza's great old-school winemaking personalities and runs every corner of this quirky operation himself. Brought to Argentina on a small boat from Sicily when he was one year old, Carmelo was a catalyst for the rebirth of fine wine production in Mendoza in the '80s and is one of the most respected enologists in the country. Carmelo's winemaking style is equally unique as his character. He insists on holding all wine until he deems it ""ready"" which generally means 4-5 years after harvest at the soonest for reds. All wines are made naturally, with no chemical additives and only native yeast.
