Presented in a magnum format for slow development, this red wine showcases malbec sourced from old bush vines planted in 1916. Winemaker Gabriela Furlotti applies low-intervention methods to build a fresh expression of traditional Luján de Cuyo terroir. Spontaneous fermentation relies entirely on native wild yeasts in large neutral concrete tanks, ensuring a transparent look at old-vine concentration. Aged in used French oak barrels, this bottling captures an authentic century-old site identity.

It radiates a deep ruby color, releasing expressive aromas of blackberry, black plum, sweet spices, and licorice. On the palate, the medium-bodied, well-structured frame showcases a harmonious balance of fruit, integrated tannins, and fresh acidity. Savory notes of damp earth and subtle cedar develop nicely as the fluid mouthfeel expands. A clean line of natural acidity cuts through the volume, keeping the texture fresh. It finishes long, dry, and polished, leaving a subtle mineral impression.

Finca Adalgisa is a boutique wine hotel and small winery located in the Chacras de Coria area of Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina. Housed in a converted 20th-century manor, the property is famous for its history, hospitality, and a very limited production of high-quality Malbec. The vineyards were first planted in 1916 by the Italian-Argentine Furlotti-Moretti family, which has owned the property for generations. In 2002, the family converted the estate into a hotel to preserve its historic Malbec vines from urban expansion. The winery's single product is a Malbec made from the century-old vines on the property. The winemaking is handled by renowned local winemaker Carmelo Patti, who prioritizes balance and terroir. The wine is aged in the bottle before release. Finca Adalgisa is considered one of Argentina's smallest wineries, producing less than 500 cases of Malbec per year. The wine is exclusively available to guests of the hotel.
