Altos Las Hormigas Tinto 2018

Carried by the wave of Italian immigrants in the 19th century, Bonarda was at one time the most widely planted varietal in all of Argentina and has had enjoyed a devoted following ever since. An aromatic varietal often cursed for its small bunches and low yields, Bonarda has a propensity to show a pleasant depth without much effort. It can be made to be light and fruity or matured to stentorian depth with a little help from barrel maturation. Bonarda’s milder acidity is yet another reason for its strong following making it an easygoing candidate to drink beside anything from simply grilled meats to the richer roasted fare of the darkest winter months.
