Crafted in secrecy and born from Argentina’s signature red grapes, the Alma Negra Gran Alma 2018 is a wine that defies convention and delights the senses. True to its name — “Black Soul” — this enigmatic blend invites intrigue, delivering a multi-layered expression of depth, finesse, and Argentine character.
On the nose, it reveals a seductive bouquet of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, violets, and subtle cocoa, laced with earthy undertones and spice. The palate is where the mystery unfolds: rich layers of leather, exotic spices, blackberry compote, and candied fruits come alive in perfect harmony. Despite its generous alcohol level, the wine remains remarkably poised — showcasing exceptional balance, purity, and an elegant, long finish.
Full-bodied yet refined, Gran Alma 2018 is a wine of contrast and complexity — ideal for cellaring, but equally compelling now with a proper decant.
