Patagonia
Patagonia is the southernmost wine region of South America: a remote and desert area which, contrary to all expectations, has proven itself, also thanks to its cool and dry climate, particularly suitable for the production of elegant red wines from Pinot Noir and Malbec grapes . It is a very large area, twice the size of California, which extends for 300 kilometers along the Rio Negro, Neuquén, Anelo and Choele rivers. The alternation of hot days and cold nights slow down the maturation and prolong it, leading to the development of the rich variety of grapes. Patagonia's reputation is due to its subregion Rio Negro and the emerging Neuquén, from which more European-style wines originate. If it is true that Malbec plays a central role in the wine production of Patagonia, the absolute primacy belongs to Pinot Noir.
