Description
Walter Bressia, owner and winemaker of Bodegas Bressia, has been in the Argentine wine trade since the early 1980’s. Before founding his family winery in 2003, he was the winemaker at Bodega Vistalba and Viniterra. Walter and his wife Marita, along with daughters Marita & Antonella and sons Walter Jr. & Alvaro, produce some of Argentina’s finest wines.
Walter is one of the most respected winemakers in Argentina, and his concept involves the notion of “Vinos de Autor” (Author’s wines) or personalized high-quality wines. Bressia has 320 oak barrels, almost all new French and American oak (60% French, 40% American).
Profundo began during the era of “assemblages” in Argentina; wines from various grapes combined in different proportions, achieving a singular, complete wine with great definition.
The Malbec, the Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot & Syrah come from Lujan de Cuyo vineyards 3,100 feet above sea level. Planted 6,500 plants per hectare.
Intense red color with purple tones. Delicate strawberry, blackberry aromas intertwined with chocolate, tobacco, dulce de leche and vanilla nuances. Harmonious and elegant in the mouth with a long finish.
“The 2017 Bressia Profundo is half Malbec with 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and 10% Syrah from Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo and was aged in used American and French barrels. A rich purple in color, the complex nose offers violets and white pepper with hints of ripe plum, raspberry and blackcurrant with whiffs of mint and balsam over a bed of oak. Indulgent initially, the flow grows voluminous and gentle with delicate tannins enlivened by the juicy freshness. A nuanced red of ephemeral flavor. – Joaquín Hidalgo”

“Some coffee and vanilla character with blackberries and blueberries. Hints of black olives and minerals, too. The center-palate is mellow, with sweet black fruit and sleek tannins. A hint of warmth at the end. 50% malbec, 30% cabernet sauvignon, 10% merlot and 10% syrah. Drink now.”
