Until as of late, one may have been excused for portraying Argentina’s wine industry<\/strong> as an immense undertaking that made little differentiation between various styles and terroirs. That is not true anymore.<\/p>\n

When you get down to it, the issue is one of scale. The expressions “Argentina” and “Mendoza”<\/strong> are what could be compared to the United States and California or Italy and Tuscany<\/strong>: land areas that don’t reveal to you much about the wine you’re drinking. One must analyze the districts (i.e., regions or states) all the more near get an increasingly point by point image of the wines being delivered there. It is here, at this engaged level, that decent variety starts to bloom.<\/p>\n

It’s a basic story. As Nicol\u00e1s Catena, one of the main winemakers in this edge of the world<\/strong>, is enamored with saying: “When you blend the grapes, the quality levels out. When you split the land into packages, you may find a superior wine or you may not, yet you need to search for it.” A comparable soul is driving the Geographical Indication (GI) insurgency occurring in Argentina \u2013 one in which the subtleties mean more than the simplifications.<\/p>\n
