Otrania, from the most extreme area of Argentine Patagonia.
"A very particular Pinot, born in the lacustrine soils of Sarmiento, on the shores of Lake Chubut, and almost two thousand kilometers south of Mendoza, in the Argentine Patagonia. The nose has a strong herbal component that is superimposed on the aromas of fruit , present albeit in low doses.The mouth is dominated by the sharp acidity of the wines Otronia produces there, but also fresh fruity flavors in a red that improves each year as the vineyard (established in 2010) ages. " Patricio Tapia - Uncorked
Some 1,900 kilometers away from Mendoza, on the eastern shore of Lake Musters, in Chubut, Argentine businessman Alejandro Bulgueroni and Italian adviser Alberto Antonini thought that this windy place, with little rain and low temperatures - a cold desert where in summer there are 14 hours of sun (photosynthesis is not the problem) and in winter the nights last 12 hours - it could be interesting. In 2010 they began to plant the vineyard and today they have some 50 hectares, mainly with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, in the southernmost project in South America.
