Sottano Reserva de Familia Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

Argentina is best known for Malbec, but Mendoza’s altitude suits Cabernet Sauvignon exceptionally well. The cold nights preserve the acidity and aromatic lift that Cabernet needs, while the strong sunlight ripens the tannins fully — avoiding the green, herbaceous edge that undermines Cabernet grown in cooler places.

This is the premium tier of Sottano’s range, and it shows in the structure. Blackcurrant and dark cherry sit alongside cedar and tobacco from oak maturation, held together by firm tannins that give the wine its shape. Serious, food-driven and built to last.

Serving Suggestions:
🍸 Best enjoyed: Cool room temperature, decanted an hour ahead — this wine benefits more than most
🍽️ Food Pairing: Grilled ribeye, roast beef, rack of lamb, hard aged cheese
🍹 Serving Note: Best served with food. The tannins are firm, and a fatty cut of meat softens them beautifully

🍇 Aroma: Blackcurrant, dark cherry, cedar, tobacco leaf, a hint of mint
🍯 Flavour: Concentrated dark fruit, savoury herb, oak spice and graphite
🔥 Finish: Long and firm, with structured, well-defined tannins

Did You Know?
📖 Cabernet Sauvignon has unusually thick skins for a red grape, which is where its deep colour, firm tannins and famous ageing potential all come from. It also makes the variety naturally resistant to rot — one reason it travelled so successfully from Bordeaux to every wine region on earth.

🌟 Final Note: A properly structured Cabernet with real presence. Decant it, pour it with steak, and give it your attention.
