Altocedro "Año Cero" Cabernet Sauvignon, 2022

Altocedro was founded in 1999 by visionary Karim Mussi, a third-generation Lebanese immigrant. Karim and his family pioneered high-altitude farming in La Consulta and by 2014 Karim’s idea became conventional wisdom and now La Consulta is classified as one of Argentina’s few Geographic Indication Appellations. Altocedro uses original old-vine rootstocks, indigenous yeasts, hundred-year-old concrete fermentation tanks. This coupled with Karim’s minimalist winemaking create true terroir-driven wines. Altocedro means "tall cedar", these trees surround the vineyards protecting the vines from storms in the Andes mountains.
