Bodega Trivento

Producer Information

Trivento is the Argentine affiliate of the Viña Concha y Toro Family of Wineries and a symbol of premium Argentine wine. Since 1996, Trivento has sought to preserve the character of the Mendoza terroir and challenge the temperament of the winds.

“Trivento” means three winds: The Polar, Zonda and Sudestada winds blow across the sunny and arid land of Mendoza. The Polar wind blows in icy and dry from the South, announcing the onset of winter. The first cold fronts indicate the time for pruning has begun. The Zonda wind descends from the Andes year round, but its frequency peaks in spring. It`s gusts of hot and dry air improve budding on the vine. The Sudestada wind is the fresh breeze of summer. Cloudiness allows clusters to rest from the broiling sun, this ensures equilibrium in the grapes’ metabolism and leads to uniform ripening.

Wine Making

The grapes were mechanical harvest in the third week of March, then destemmed and crushed. The grapes were macerated, before a 20 day fermentation in stainless steel tanks at 26°C. Following a natural malolactic fermentation, 30% of the wine was aged in French oak for 8 months.

Tasting Note

Intense ruby red with violet tinges and persistent fig and blackberry aromas, mixed with coffee and chocolate notes from the oak. It is full-bodied and harmonic with a long and persistent finish.

Food Matching

Great with red meats, lamb and steak of course. Also pair with game and richer sauces.
