Unísono Blend - Familia Innocenti

The powerful Unísono Blend from Familia Innocenti shines into the glass with a dense purple red. At the edge also shows a colored transition to garnet red. If you give it some air in the wine glass by swirling, this red wine reveals a high viscosity, which is evident in clear church windows at the edge of the glass. To the nose, this Familia Innocenti red wine presents all sorts of raspberries, plums and black currants. As if that wasn't already impressive, the aging in small wooden barrels adds other aromas such as eucalyptus, chocolate and black cherry.

The Familia Innocenti Unísono Blend presents itself wonderfully dry to the wine enthusiast. This red wine never shows itself coarse or meager, as one might expect from a top wine range. On the tongue, this powerful red wine is characterized by an incredibly velvety texture. Due to the balanced fruit acidity, the Unísono Blend flatters the palate with a velvety feel, without lacking freshness at the same time. In the finish, this mature wine from the wine-growing region of the Valle de Uco finally delights with exceptional length. Again, hints of plum and black currant appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the soils dominated by sandstone and limestone are added.

Vinification of the Unísono Blend from Familia Innocenti

The powerful Unísono Blend from Argentina is a cuvée, pressed from the grape varieties Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in the Valle de Uco. The vines here dig their roots deep into soils of limestone and sandstone. When they are perfectly ripe, the grapes for the Unísono Blend are harvested exclusively by hand without the use of punishing and less selective full harvesters. After the harvest, the grapes arrive at the winery by the fastest route. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. Then fermentation takes place in small wood at controlled temperatures. The vinification is followed by a maturation of 18 months in French oak barriques.
