Viña Progreso - Uruguay - Revolution Tannat - Rouge - 2020

It is a unique and experimental estate. Gabriel Pisano is a young, idealistic and curious winemaker who works in his own name at Vina Progreso. 

Located 25 km from the sea, on limestone soils that benefit from the cool Atlantic winds, this new kind of estate cultivates tannat - the king of Madiran grapes - in all its forms. Gabriel chooses to harvest it at different maturities, vinifying it without sulfites, using indigenous yeasts, to harvest its most natural expression. 

After successful collaborations around the world, including Mas Doix in Priorat and Clos Apalta with Michel Rolland, this young viticultural prodigy has chosen Uruguay to express all his ideas and talent, exploring previously unknown avenues.
