Tercos
is a new winery owned by brothers Pedro and Patricio Santos
(the adult sons of pioneering Argentine winemaker Ricardo Santos).
Patricio is the winemaker while Pedro heads up the winery’s
marketing and sales efforts. The name of the wine, which means
“stubborn” in Spanish, underscores the tenacious,
burro-like commitment to quality that the Santos brothers possess.
This is the inaugural release of the Tercos Sangiovese and Malbec.

2007 Malbec
Ricardo Santos was the first winemaker to export this varietal
from Argentina, and he began the process of making Malbec Argentina’s
signature wine. This Malbec has fruity, aromatic characteristics
of blackberry and ripe cherry. This first release has great
volume and depth with a long finish, maintaining the soft tannins
and easy drinkability of a classic Malbec.

Sangiovese
Italian immigrants introduced the Sangiovese grape to Argentina,
and there is still a deep appreciation for Italian culture in
this Latin American country. This deep red Sangiovese has great
aromatic intensity of ripe strawberries and black currants.
It has a good balance between fruit and acidity, making it ideal
for Italian food featuring tomato sauces.

Bonarda
Bonarda is the second most planted grape variety in Argentina
(after Malbec), and is thought to be the same grape as the Italian
Charbono. The grape originally hails from Piedmont, and was
brought to Argentina by immigrants. These grapes are grown on
the Tupungato mountainside—one of the highest elevations in
the Andes—where the days are warm and the nights cool. New from
Tercos, this Bonarda is unoaked, vibrant and full of fresh red
fruits.
