Intimo

2010 Patagonia Malbec

The Humberto Canale Intimo is a captivating Malbec from the picturesque region of Patagonia, showcasing the elegance and depth that this varietal can provide. This red wine, crafted from handpicked grapes, exhibits a full-bodied character that envelops the palate in rich and layered flavors. With a high acidity that adds brightness and liveliness, it perfectly balances the wine's depth without overwhelming the senses. The fruit intensity is pronounced, offering delightful notes of blackberry and plum, which harmonize beautifully with subtle undertones of spice and dark chocolate. The tannins are notable, providing structure and a firm backbone, while the overall profile of the wine is beautifully dry, making it an exceptional companion for hearty dishes or a cozy evening by the fire. The 2010 vintage of Humberto Canale Intimo is a true testament to the winegrowing potential of Patagonia, reflecting both the climate and terroir of this remarkable region.

Region:


Patagonia

The southernmost tip of Argentina is perfecto for growing cool-climate grapes. Patagonia's altitude, arid conditions and Antarctic influence result in wines with uniquely intense color and flavor. Pinot Noir is the standout variety, creating vibrant wines with glorious red fruit characters. Argentina's ever-reliable Malbec is a stalwart here, too, channeling the long, slow ripening season into gloriously bold yet elegant wines. But it was the early European-style Rieslings and Cabernet Sauvignons from the Rio Negro and Neuquen area in the north that initially put Patagonia on the wine map. These unspoiled valleys with their mineral-rich rivers produce wines as distinctive as the unique terroir that creates them.
