The story behind Luca
Malbec is the red grape Argentina made its own, and the Valle de Uco in Mendoza is where it reaches its highest expression. Vineyards there sit at serious altitude, and the cool nights and strong sun give the wine deep color, dark plum and blackberry fruit, and a firm but rounded tannin. It drinks fuller than a Cabernet but softer, with a violet lift on the finish.
We keep Luca Malbec Valle De Uco here in Commack, and only a bottle or two at a time. Ask for it at the counter and we will pull it for you.
