It ripens late, holds its acidity, and gives dark fruit with softer tannin than Malbec, which is exactly why it lands better on a Tuesday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHugo Martino bought into Agrelo in 2002 for one block of ungrafted 1926 vines, then built a winery in Mayor Drummond that now works across Lujan de Cuyo and the Uco Valley. Tuscan consultant Attilio Pagli has overseen the cellar since 2013, and the house style is deliberately old-school — cigar box and coffee under the fruit rather than a wall of new oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one comes off sandy, stony ground at Ugarteche, ferments on native yeast after a 48-hour cold soak, and spends twelve months in second- and third-fill French barrels. Seasoned wood, so the cocoa and violet notes are the grape talking. James Suckling gave the 2022 92 points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePAIRINGS :\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eBeef empanadas\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFruit weight carries the cumin and raisin.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eSkirt steak with chimichurri\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRound tannins leave room for the raw garlic.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eGrilled eggplant and peppers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo new oak to flatten the char.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Vinos Argentinos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62855544307871,"sku":"8733","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/eastsidecellars.com\/products\/martino-wines-bonarda-2025-750ml","provider":"Eastside Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
