Details
Elegant like its big brother, Petit CARO is also a blend of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon, aged for 12 months in barrels. The grapes come from selected plots of old vines in the historic region of Luján de Cuyo and from new high-altitude terroirs in the Uco valley, about 100 km south of Mendoza.
Winemaker notes
2021: Deep velvety red color with intense ruby hues. Very fruity and fresh on the nose, followed by aromas of red fruit, strawberry and black currant. On the palate, the wine is long, well Balanced and pleasant, with refined tannins. Displaying generous aromas of red berries.
2021
Decanter 94: In the tradition of Bordeaux's grand cru classés, Bodegas Caro produces a second wine that mirrors the house’s core style. A bright ruby-red in hue, the wine offers red and black fruit, blackcurrant, hints of violets, old spice, flowers, and graphite. On the palate, it’s indulgent with a velvety texture and substantial body. The firm tannins promise excellent ageing potential, kept in harmony by the accomplished acidity. Petit Caro 2021 is a blend of 69% Malbec, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 1% Ancellotta from Luján de Cuyo and Paraje Altamira in the Uco Valley.
