Pisano, Cisplatino Tannat 2024, Uruguay

Pisano Family Wines is nestled in Progreso, 45 minutes uphill from Montevideo, some 20km from the broadest point of the Rio del Plata estuary before it meets the chill of the South Atlantic. The Pisano family share an Italian and Basque heritage and this family-run estate traces its roots back to 1914, when Italian immigrant, Don Césare Secundino Pisano, moved to Progreso and planted vineyards there. Today, the fourth generation of Pisano’s, brothers Daniel, Eduardo, and Gustavo, keep tradition alive.

Grown on the Clay- Calcareous soils of Progreso, this 100% Tannat is aged for 3 to 4 months in French oak barrels. Perfumed, lifted and bright, this juicy Tannat is dark but ruby-red alive with plummy joy, walnuts, spices, and young mushrooms. The palate has a smooth structure, with good density, with soft smoky aromas of blueberries, blackberries, and raisins. A clear, unadorned expression shaped by precise cellar work. 

Perfect with all meats, especially lamb, pasta, and mild cheeses. Very good with Uruguayan empanadas and pastries.
