Casarena Areyna Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
The nose shows subtle aromas of fig, cassis, and dark fruits. The mouth feel is full and rich with notes of chocolate and spices. The finish shows finely grained tannins and bright acidity. Pairs well with grilled pork tacos, stuffed peppers, and meatloaf.
Casarena is forging a different path from the other wineries in Mendoza. Instead of searching for undiscovered terroirs in new places like the Uco Valley, it is discovering the hidden gems in its home region of Lujan de Cuyo—a place full of rich tradition, potential, and unique microterroirs. Casarena has purchased as well as planted vineyards in several distinctive sites, and they control all aspects of winegrowing and winemaking in order to maximize the flavor expression of these terroirs.
