Vallisto Wines

A Vallisto is a person from the valley, fundamentally from Cafayate Valley. And this project is about expressing the virtues of the unique terroirs in and around this beautiful, remote area of Argentina. It is also a rescue mission, giving voice to long-forgotten vineyards and lesser-known grape varieties, pulling together a youthful, dynamic approach to winemaking and the kind of natural resources that take millennia to form. Pancho Lavaque and his team are creating exciting, rare gems, often from very old vines, and they are crafting modern, elegant wines that are light on extraction and big on flavour and complexity.

The nose is an explosion of beautifully pure, sweet aromas of raspberry ripple, blackberries and blueberry pie. Very deep purple colour and perfectly balanced with velvety tannins, lots of luscious black fruit flavours and a big, juicy finish. The wine is unaoked allowing the purity of the fruit to sing.
