Description
What kind of wine it is
Cabernet Sauvignon Vive is a still red wine from Argentina with an intense character, distinguished by a purple-red colour with violet highlights. On the nose, it releases a structured bouquet, dominated by aromas of ripe fruit that blend with characteristic notes of pepper and toasted hints. The palate is balanced and full-bodied, offering a soft and enveloping texture, enriched by nuances of cherry and a slight touch of vegetal freshness. The tasting concludes with a remarkable persistence and a finish that leaves a lasting impression.
Where it comes from
This expression of Cabernet Sauvignon originates from the wine-growing region of Mendoza, Argentina. It is produced by Alta Vista, a winery founded by the d’Aulan family, historic owners of Champagne Piper-Heidsieck. The estate’s aim is to faithfully enhance South American terroirs, paying particular attention to the specific vocations of each vineyard. In this pedoclimatic context, the grape variety develops an intense aromatic profile, balancing the ripeness of the fruit with a distinctly recognisable vegetal component, typical of the variety in this region.
How it is produced
Made exclusively from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, this red wine has a marked propensity for ageing, guaranteeing a longevity of ten to fifteen years. To fully enhance its aromatic breadth, it is recommended to decant for one hour and serve at a temperature between 14 and 16°C. Its substantial structure makes it ideal for pairing with grilled meats, roast pork and barbecue dishes. The harmony of the palate also pairs perfectly with mature cheeses, as well as balancing the savouriness of pasta dishes with rich sauces and spicy foods.
