Bodegas CARO
Blending: it's not just for wine. We are the perfect assemblage of two cultures: different characteristics merging together to give place to something new. When the old world merges with the new. When youth matures together with experience. When wildness becomes a bit more delicate. When Bordeaux meets Los Andes. There is us. We are Bodegas CARO.
Presentation
CARO, from CAtena and ROthschild, has a strong Argentine identity, heralded by Malbec, while obtaining further elegance and complexity through blending with Cabernet Sauvignon. The combination has made a rich and refined wine; a harmonious balance between the Argentine and Bordeaux styles.

Tasting
Intense ruby color.
The nose recalls red and black fruit aromas, mingled with hints of mocha and spices. It evolves slowly, revealing layer after layer of elegant fragrances.
In the mouth, the acidity is refreshing and persistent. Well-balanced tannins contribute to the harmony and smoothness of the palate.
We recommend serving this wine at 16°C. If there is enough time, do not decant the wine in order to appreciate its slow evolution over the course of an evening.
This vintage presents a good capacity to age and will open up more over time.
