Luca 'G' Lot Pinot Noir '21

This Uco Valley Pinot Noir shimmers with a translucent ruby hue and violet reflections, immediately signaling its cool-climate pedigree. The aromatic profile is hauntingly complex - wild strawberries macerated in rosewater, fresh morel mushrooms, and a whisper of Sichuan peppercorn. On the palate, the wine delivers astonishing precision with filigree tannins framing flavors of blood orange, pomegranate molasses, and a touch of forest floor. Sourced from Gualtallary's calcareous soils at 4,900ft elevation, the grapes undergo whole-cluster fermentation in concrete eggs before 14 months in French oak (30% new), earning 95 points for its Burgundian elegance. The finish lingers with Earl Grey tea and crushed raspberry notes. Pair with duck confit or truffle-infused dishes to highlight its ethereal complexity. The 2021 vintage's cool nights preserved remarkable acidity despite Mendoza's warm days.
