Mil Piedras Malbec red wine is produced by Benvenuto de la Serna, a family-owned winery in Argentina. This Malbec is a deeply colored wine with an expressive nose of plum, vanilla and blackberry. A rich, round mouth feel defines the palate in the form of blackberry jam, sour cherry and spice notes. Dark berry fruit lingers on the finish along with very gentle spices. This wine sips well on it’s own, but will also be a good complement to a burger or other grilled foods. The 2006 Mil Piedras Malbec was produced from 7 year old Estate vines. 4,000 cases of this wine were produced.

Benvenuto de la Serna is a family-owned winery founded in Argentina. This award winning grower produces their wines from a single vineyard of estate-grown fruit. Benvenuto de la Serna is one of the wineries located in one of the most famous areas in Mendoza, Valle de Uco. Silvio Benvenuto and his family have built a state-of-the-art winery at the foothills of the Andes at 3500 elevation. Angel Mendoza, formerly of Trapiche, is the winemaker and all their wines are 100% estate grown and bottled. Argentina is regarded as one of the most dynamic wine-producing nations in the world, and possibly the most important wine-producing region in South America. Only four countries in the world produce more wine than Argentina. Malbec, among other Bordeaux varietals grown there, reign supreme.
