Marcelo Pelleriti Signature Blend (Tinto Fresco)
Vivacious purple
This jumps out of the glass with vibrant aromatics of strawberries and red cherries as well as heady floral notes.
Fresh and juicy, Marcelo Pelleriti Signature Blend is a Mendoza equivalent of Beaujolais Nouveau – a bright, carbonic maceration wine made to be drunk within the year. Utterly gluggable and fun.
Perfect for a pizza night.
Tinto Fresco 2018 blend: 70% Malbec, 30% Cabernet Franc
13.5% alcohol. 1500 bottles.
Sample, tasted at home.

More on the Wine Region
Home to some of the highest elevation vineyards in all of Mendoza, Uco Valley is known for producing elegant wines with great aging potential. The different altitudes within the Uco Valley region and the resulting microclimates have proven to be an excellent home for both red and white grape varieties. Uco Valley produces are very rich and flavorful wines Malbec, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Franc, as well as Chardonnay and Sémillon.
Nowadays, a growing number of young generations of winemakers are choosing to produce their wines with minimal intervention and ferment and age using alternative methods, such as cement or concrete vats, in order to better express the grape varietal’s characteristics and the terroir, which allows you to get a true sense of Uco Valley’s mountain wines. Within this region, wine labels will often include the name of the sub-region, as the different terroirs will impart wines distinguishable characteristics.
