Laura Catena - daughter of the famous wine pioneer Nicolas Catena - set up the series La Posta wines to give the smaller winegrowers of Mendoza their own stage, instead of a nameless place in the local cooperative. The wines are called La Posta, after the typical local pub that you will find everywhere on the side of the road.
Mr. Angel Paulucci originally came to Mendoza from Italy looking for a job as a car mechanic. After buying acres of land for a very low price, his family friend convinced him to plant a vineyard and grow malbec. He did this in 1972 and today Angel Paulucci's vineyard continues to produce malbec from old vines, among other things. The vineyards, located in Ugarteche - Luján de Cuyo, are of alluvial soil loam with 30% clay which lowers the average root temperature and aids in water retention. During the vinification process, 50% of the wine is aged in French oak barrels for 10 months. Of which 15% new barrels and 15% second and third used barrels. The other 70% matures in stainless steel tanks. This produces an elegant and drinkable wine.
The La Posta Paulucci Malbec Angel Paulucci Vineyard is a wonderfully pure and elegant Malbec, the fruit splashes out of the glass, plums and cherries, raspberries, fine vanilla and spices, in the mouth beautifully smooth and peppery, spices, vanilla and toast, caramel and coffee, nice and strong. Powerful red wine. Nice with lentils with pancetta, seasoned sausages, mature farmer's cheeses.
La Posta is in de Argentijnse traditie een taverne, waar de (wijn)boeren samenkomen voor een glas wijn, om verhalen over de oogst te delen en uiteraard voor hun dagelijkse siësta. Elk La Posta label illustreert een verhaal van deze individuele families. Een slok vol smaak en u verwelkomt deze kwekers in uw eigen gezin, in uw glas en in uw hart.
