Description
Luca Pinot Noir G Lot hails from the high-altitude vineyards of Tupungato, Gualtallary in Mendoza, Argentina. Grown at nearly 1,500 meters above sea level, this exceptional Pinot Noir showcases the innovative vision of Laura Catena, who founded Bodega Luca in 1999. Sourced from the G Lot vineyard, planted in 1994, the stony, calcareous soils and cold mountain nights impart a distinctive character and elegance to this wine.
Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels (30% new, 70% second-use) and hand-harvested with precision, Luca Pinot Noir G Lot reveals a brilliant ruby red color and offers refined aromas of ripe cherries, rose petals, and a hint of licorice, beautifully balanced by subtle mineral notes.
On the palate, it delivers silky tannins, bright acidity, and remarkable harmony. Flavor layers unfold with wild strawberries, cherry preserves, pomegranate, and elegant touches of spice, leather, and earth. The finish is long, fresh, and almost Burgundian in style.
For the perfect pairing, enjoy it with French-inspired cuisine — think duck breast with cherry compote, beef bourguignon, or herb-crusted lamb chops with red wine reduction. For a modern twist, serve it with seared ahi tuna or a wild mushroom tart. These dishes complement the wine’s complexity, vibrant fruit, and refined structure.
A wine for true connoisseurs, Luca Pinot Noir G Lot is ideal for gourmet meals that blend American creativity with classic French technique.
