August 2021 (Vintage 2018)

The 2018 Latuffa Pinot Noir, produced with grapes from Malleco in the south, has a lot less alcohol (13%) than the one from Aconcagua and a more floral and herbal profile. Most of the vines were planted in 2010, but there's one hectare from 1999. They did a soft vinification with indigenous yeasts and an élevage in used barriques for 18 to 24 months. This is very spicy and very different from the other two Pinot Noirs, with pungent notes of nutmeg, cola nut, cinnamon and clove. It opens up after some time in the glass to flowers and blood orange, becoming quite spectacular. It's medium-bodied, has vibrant and pungent flavors and is focused and nicely defined. 3,000 bottles were filled in January 2020.
