Product description
Tomero Single Vineyard Petit Verdot is a distinctive, varietal Argentine red wine from the Uco Valley in Mendoza, specifically the cooler-climate Los Árboles subregion. The wine is made from 100% Petit Verdot grapes harvested from a single, carefully managed vineyard, offering a clear reflection of its origin and the grape’s true character.
Characteristics and taste profile
In the glass it shows a deep, dark ruby colour with purple hues. The aroma is intense, with notes of black fruits such as blackberry and blackcurrant, complemented by subtle spicy, herbal and floral nuances. On the palate it is full-bodied and concentrated, with firm yet well-integrated tannins, vibrant acidity and a long, persistent finish.
Barrel ageing adds discreet layers of vanilla, cocoa and toasted notes that blend harmoniously with the fruit, without overpowering the natural personality of the variety. This balanced structure makes the wine suitable for enjoying now or for further bottle ageing under proper cellaring conditions.
Food pairing and serving suggestions
Tomero Single Vineyard Petit Verdot pairs well with flavourful red meat dishes such as beef, lamb or game. It is a great match for herb-driven, spicier recipes, aged hard cheeses and grilled foods. For optimal enjoyment, serve at 16–18 °C to highlight the wine’s aromas and structure.
Winery and origin
The wine is crafted by Bodega Vistalba, founded by Carlos Pulenta. The estate combines the Pulenta family’s multi-generation winemaking experience with modern technology. The high-altitude vineyards of the Uco Valley, with their cool nights and sunny days, offer favourable conditions for the slow, even ripening of Petit Verdot.
The result is a red wine that feels both contemporary and respectful of tradition, and a reliable choice for those who want to explore a characterful, single-vineyard expression of Argentine Petit Verdot.
