Tasting Notes:
Aged innew barrel, this wine shows exceptional complexity in its deep red robe: red plum, cassis, dark cherries, and a hint of eucalyptus. Full and well-built from 14 months in new barrel, the wine has firm but integrated tannins that express the oak and the varietal. From the aromas, color, and flavors, you’d expect this wine is twice the price. Don’t miss out on this superbly crafted beauty of a red wine. If you like a modern, fruit-forward wine with lots of flavor and fruit, yet considerable structure, you want to try this wine. Only 500 cases made specifically for Harrison and William-Harrison Imports.
Tittarelli Winery
Tittarelli is one of the oldest and most prestigious wineries in all of Argentina. Founded by Enrique Tittarelli in 1915, just after his arrival from Italy.Tittarelli owns over 1800 hectares (4500 acres) of vines right below the Andes Mountains, an area with an exceptional micro-climate which makes it possible to grow high-quality grapes. The company is divided into two wineries, which combine tradition and technology to create wines of excellent character.
The 33 degree south latitude is a special geographic point as the climate of this zone is characterized by a large swing in temperatures. These conditions, together with the scarce rainfall and the sandy and permeable soil make the ‘cuyana’ area the most suitable for growing grapes, making it possible to compete with and even excel the best and most traditional European wineries.
Achieving excellent wine at the vineyard requires expert work. A team of professionals and specialists, highly qualified, with technicians and workers continues today the legacy of three generations which has made and makes Tittarelli great.

The loam sandy, calcareous soils, the good drainage, as well as the scarce rainfall turns the area into a unique environment to cultivate grape vines that yield high quality wines, able to compete with the best in the world.
