Sensory Description:

Fragrant and expressive, the Almacita Brut Ros bursts with aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, rose petals, and fresh whipped cream. The palate is bright and fresh, layered with juicy red fruits and subtle notes of freshly baked bread. Tight, energetic bubbles carry flavors of raspberry jam and toasted almonds, finishing with fine chalky tannins and vibrant length.

Winemaker's Background:

Almacita is crafted by Alma 4, a pioneering sparkling wine collective founded by friends Agustn Lopez, Mauricio Castro, Sebastin Zuccardi, and Marcela Manini. Their journey began in 1998 at just 17 years old, when they vinified 300 bottles of mthode traditionnelle wine as students at the Liceo Agrcola & Enolgico School in Mendoza. Over two decades later, Alma 4 has evolved into one of Argentinas most respected sparkling wine producers, with a portfolio of five cuves sourced from Uco Valley vineyards, ranging between 1,300 and 1,550 meters above sea level. Their philosophy combines experimentation, sustainability, and friendship, resulting in wines of purity, precision, and place.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve chilled at 68C in a tulip glass to highlight its finesse. This Brut Ros is an ideal match for seafood towers, sushi, and raw bar favorites, while its chalky freshness and almond-kissed finish also pair beautifully with fried appetizers, soft cheeses, and even pizza.

The Almacita Brut Ros is a joyful expression of high-altitude Pinot Noir, crafted with care and vision by Alma 4, delivering vibrant fruit, mineral finesse, and sparkling elegance from Argentinas Uco Valley.
