Pisano, Cisplatino Albariño, 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.

Hand-harvested and destemmed, followed by gentle pressing. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks at lower temperatures, typically between 12-16°C. Aged for 3 to 4 months in stainless steel tanks. Refreshing and minerally, with balanced acidity. Pear, melon and apricot lead the nose, lifted by white flowers and lemon. Fresh acidity and a rounded texture define the medium-bodied palate, with subtle weight from careful lees work.
