Nieto Patrimonial DOC Malbec is an intense Malbec that is deep red in colour. The nose has hints of violet with concentrated notes of red fruits, plum and figs that blend with the vanilla and tobacco aromas resulting from its ageing in French oak. The finish is long and smooth with sweet and soft tannins.
Good with grilled red meat, pasta in rich tomato sauce or semi-cured cheese.
