"Best Barda ever....Super..." James Suckling
Considered one of the best vintages ever in Patagonia, a cool climate and slow ripening season allowed these luscious PInot Noir grapes to thrive in 2015.
Who is behind Barda Pinot Noir by Bodega Chacra? Italy's famed Sassicaia progeny, Piero Incisa.
Piero, was first drawn to the the valley after a blind tasting in which he thought he nailed a Grand Cru Burgundy, when in reality it was an Argentinian wonder.
Now instead of Super Tuscans, he is making world-class Super South Americans that rival the best of Burgundy.
Hand harvested in the remote corner of Patagonia, this PInot Noir is "a fantastic red with ginger, dried strawberry, wet earth and fresh leather aromas and flavors. Full body, silky tannins and a fantastic finish. Super. Best Barda ever." James Suckling
