Since 1995, Altos Las Hormigas has been focused on bringing excellent value wines to the forefront. It started with Malbec, which we all know has grown to a household variety, and later added the tasty delight of Bonarda. Now, the team at ALH are inspired by their Italian roots and have created TINTO a Mendoza take on the oldest known recipe for Chianti, originally a blend of traditional red grapes with a touch of white grapes for lifted aromatics and quaffability. They’ve replaced the Sangiovese and Canaiolo with Malbec and Bonarda, and blended in a touch of Semillon in place of the Trebbiano or Malvasia.
Malbec, Bonarda, and Semillon are recognized by the Argentina wine community as the varieties with the longest history in the region, and their blend can be seen as a traditional one that also looks to the future.
48% Malbec, 45% Bonarda, 7% Semillon
