Piattelli Torrontés

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Piattelli Torrontés greets the palate with a burst of jasmine, orange blossom and ripe citrus, delivering a silky yet brightly acidic sip that finishes crisp and mouthwatering, the classic signature of the Torrontés grape. Crafted in Argentina, typically from high-altitude vineyards in Salta where cool nights lock in aromatics, it’s usually fermented in stainless steel to preserve freshness and purity of fruit. At 13.5% ABV (0.135), it feels lively rather than heavy, making it a smart pour when you want a white that can stand up to spice without losing elegance. Try it with ceviche, where its zesty lift mirrors the lime and highlights the seafood, or with a Thai curry, where the floral perfume and juicy stone-fruit notes soothe the heat while keeping each bite vibrant.
