Rio De Los Pajaros Torrontes-Riesling-Sauvignon
Please view wine facts for the current vintage below as the vintage on the image may vary.
This captivating Torrontés, full of fruit and freshness, bears the signature of the Pisano family, the great name of Uruguayan wine. Grown in their own vineyards, the grapes are harvested by hand and undergo a careful selection of berries.
The press is very smooth and fermentation takes place slowly, in stainless steel vats with controlled temperature. The result is a delicious and vibrant wine, which combines notes of ripe fruit, flowers, spices and honey. It is a great version of this variety so popular with Argentine whites.

Pisano belongs to the group of small family vignerons with an artisan tradition of making wines that reflect the character of the land and the people who make them.
Family hands cultivate the grapes, taking away excess crops in productive years, taking leaves away to expose the bunches to the sun for better maturation and skin colour.
Small quantities of each variety allow to wait the perfect maturation to the last day. They begin picking the early maturing varieties the 10th of February and by beginning of April they collect the last ones.
