The Criolla Chica grape is more commonly seen in Chile (where it's known as Pais) but is well suited to the extreme conditions of the north of Argentina. Combine the expertise of w inemaker Pancho Lavaque with Vallisto's exceptional Criolla vines, first planted in 1898 and residing at an altitude of 2600m in the Calchaqui Valley, and you have something quite remarkable: vivid ruby colour with crunchy red apple and ripe summer fruit, some distinct tannin and a fresh, lively finish.
