Finca La Escuela is located in Altamira, the premiere region for Malbec. It is named for the rural school (Escuela) located on the property. TintoNegro actively supports the school through regular donations and scholarships, furthering the education of our rural vineyard families.
The vineyard has a patchwork of unique soil structures: sandy in some areas, stony patches of calcareous rocks, and light sandy, silt.
Each soil profile lot within the vineyard is harvested at different dates, lending additional complexity to the final wine. TINTONEGRO, meaning “black wine” in Spanish, is meant to celebrate the essence ofMalbec in Mendoza. Known for its dark, blackish color, Malbec is definitely a TintoNegro 2016

It has the floral varietal character and the chalkiness of the Paraje Altamira limestone soils. It has very good freshness and very fine tannins, in a rare combination of power and elegance
