The 2008 Altisimo Malbec (100%) spent time in new French oak. Sandalwood, exotic spices, cherry cola, incense, and assorted black fruits titillate the nose while pointing to an incipiently complex, ripe, plush Malbec with good balance and length. Give it 2-3 years to fully blossom and drink it from 2013 to 2023. Bodega Ricominciare exclusively employs grapes from its Finca San Vicente Estate in La Consulta. The vineyard has been in family hands for over 50 years. Only native yeasts are used to ferment the wines.Importer: F.L. Navarro, The Artisan Collection, Brooklyn, NY; tel. (718) 596-0722
