Under Wines: 10 young and boutique labels you need to know
Crafted by winemaker Germán Masera, this wine comes from century-old vineyards in El Zampal, Tupungato. Made with 100% Malvasia, it stands out for its 90-day skin maceration, giving it a rich texture and complex aromatic profile.
This unusual varietal is not a single grape but a family of Mediterranean varieties. Historically planted in warm Argentine regions often used for blends or mass-market wines, its varietal identity was somewhat overshadowed. Escala Humana Wines ' Livvera is a prime example of a new approach where Malvasia takes center stage.
The scoop: Malvasia is emerging from anonymity thanks to creative and respectful winemaking. Ideal for those seeking wines that challenge norms and tell a different story, both in the glass and behind it.
