The Story Behind the Wine: Matervini, established in 2008 by renowned winemakers Santiago Achával and Roberto Cipresso, is dedicated to exploring the diverse geologies of Argentina's Pre-Cordillera through Malbec. The Finca Malbec 2020 originates from Perdriel, a traditional Mendoza terroir, with vines planted in 1938.

The combination of this soil and old vines results in a classic wine with flavors of attractive austerity, strong minerality, good balance, and a long finish.
