In Lujan de Cuyo, soils are quite varied depending on how close vineyards are to the mountains or to the Mendoza River, and tend to form alluvial layers of loam, rock, and gravel. In Altamira, vineyards are planted at 1000m above sea level, on the ancient alluvial bed of the Tunuyan River.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePetit Caro is very fruity and fresh on the nose, followed by generous aromas of red fruit, strawberry, blackcurrant, hints of violets, old spice, flower and graphite. On the palate, it's indulgent with a velvety texture and substantial body.

Regular pumping-over ensure a gentle extraction of the tannins. After malolactic fermentation 50% of the wine is transfered into French oak barrels for a period of 12 months and 50% is aged in concrete vats.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"M\u0026S","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48331390877934,"sku":"STO-ITEM-2026-274816","price":34.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/0125\/9183\/files\/640x640_dc31ee8c-d0a3-4df0-8691-4c657af0b29f.jpg?v=1784223145","url":"https:\/\/mcgrocer.com\/products\/bodegas-caro-petit-caro-malbec-cabernet-sauvignon-red-wine-2022-2026274816","provider":"McGrocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
