DESCRIPTION
A rich, spicy and multilayered South Amercian red from Uruguay.
The lowdown:
In terms of output Uruguay is some way behind it's South American neighbours Chile and Argentina and certainly not so well known, but it's an up and coming wine producing country with good vineyard sites and some talented winemakers. The Pisano family are a long standing producer and their wines really exemplify the quality coming from here. This nicely weighty wine is a blend of mainly Tannat and Syrah with a little Viognier making up the balance. Lighty oaked, there's a lot going on here with bold sweet and sour fruits together subtle smoke, warm spice, toasty oak, blackcurrant and violets all mingling on the nose and palate. It's also very well balanced with fine, supple tannins and a clean acidity adding freshness and vivacity. It's got a smooth lingering finish leaving a really pleasing aftertaste.
When to drink:
A well thought out blend that works really well; perfect with grilled meats, roasts or barbecues.
PRODUCER
Pisano Family Vineyards
The Pisano family vineyards are currently run by the fourth generation of the family in the shape of brothers Daniel, Eduardo and Gustavo together one of the fifth generation Gabriel from their winery just outside Uruguay's capital city, Montevideo. Theirs is not a huge business and less than 30,000 cases are produced annually across a quite wide range of wines. They follow biodynamic principles in the vineyard and cultivate low yielding, high density vines and they 'green' harvest where necessary in order to achieve this.
Daniel looks after sales and marketing while Eduardo manages the vineyard and Gustavo head of winemaking along with Gabriel who is something of a risng star in Uruguay's wine industry. Their philosophy is that their wines should reflect the people who make it, as well as the soil and the climate of Uruguay and as such their skill in this direction is evident to see.
