Bressia Conjuro 50% Malbec, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 20% Merlot
Aged in 70% French oak (Taransaud, Mistral, and Radoux), and 30% American oak.
This wine is a blend of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from the Tupungato Valley, Mendoza, at 1,100 meters above sea level.
Its elegant, expressive aromas prepare us to drink a full-bodied, broad wine, very elegant and with a long, unctuous finish that leaves us with a seductive, pleasurable sensation. This wine comes from high quality grapes grown in the Uco Valley and was aged for 18 months in new French and American oak barrels, then in bottle for 24 months
Review:
Conjuro is Bressia's most ambitious wine and this year it is made up of 50% Malbec from the Agrelo area, plus 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot, both from Gualtallary, to the north of the Uco Valley. . After 18 months of aging, this is a friendly, juicy red, focused on red and black, ripe and sweet fruits. The tannins are friendly, without edges, without aggressiveness and with a balanced acidity that alleviates the sweetness and refreshes this balanced and elegant wine.

"This inspiring, revolutionary blend of Chardonnay with 30% Semillón was first made in 2006 and has been one of Argentina’s best whites ever since. New oak-fermented and aged, with subtle baking spice and toast aromas, waxed lemon, saffron and beeswax flavours, lovely texture and weight and a fresh, tangy finish. 2023-30"

Review:
"The 2019 Malbec Monteagrelo is a blend of grapes from the Uco Valley and Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza and was aged for 10 months in French vats. Garnet red in the glass, the nose offers notes of ripe plum and oak with hints of biscuit and pepper. Slick and broad, the voluminous flow brings gentle tannins and freshness. It’s creamy at the back of the mouth with hints of fruit. - Joaquín Hidalgo"

"The 2020 Malbec Monteagrelo was aged for 12 months in French oak. Purple in the glass. The intense aromas feature plum liqueur, cassis and hints of blackberry in an oaky, cigar box frame. The palate is broad and full-bodied with a channeled but voluminous, grippy flow. - Joaquín Hidalgo"

Review:
A powerful wine, still very young, this Conjuro has 50% Malbec, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot. The malbec comes from Agrelo, while the cabernet and merlot come from Gualtallary, in the Uco Valley, all aged separately in barrels for 18 months. The wine feels closed, with hints of wood and black fruits in a full-bodied blend, with a lot of extraction. Patience here. -Patricio Tapia - Descorchados 93 Points

Banfi Brunello di Montalcino Poggio Alle Mura Riserva.
The wine has a deep ruby red color and an intense aroma of ripe dark fruits, such as blackberry, black cherry, and plum, along with hints of vanilla, chocolate, and toasted oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied, rich, and complex, with firm tannins, well-balanced acidity, and a long, persistent finish. It is a wine that requires aging, and can be enjoyed after 10-15 years from the vintage date, or even longer.
Review:
98 points, Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator: “Stunning, showing black cherry, blackberry, plum, leather, earth and iron aromas and flavors that work in tandem with the supple texture and dense structure. This has a good feel, between its level of ripe fruit and firm tannins, to age well. Excellent length. Best from 2026 through 2045. 1,220 cases made, 75 cases imported.” 06/22
