ALTOCEDRO ANO CERO MALBEC+14 750ML

Altocedro Año Cero Malbec 750 mL

• Tasting / Profile
  • Sourced from the Uco Valley, La Consulta region in Mendoza, Argentina under the Altocedro label.
  • Aromas: vivid violet and plum with herbal and black-tea notes.
  • On the palate: dark berries, dried fruit, cocoa powder undertones, fresh lemon‐rind lift, firm but refined tannins, full-bodied yet agile.
  • Style: 14% ABV typical listing.

• Menu Versatility
  • Ideal by-the-glass as a premium Argentine Malbec that stands out from crowd—offers a terroir-driven story from Uco Valley.
  • Pairs strongly with grilled meats, porterhouse steaks, lamb chops, chorizo dishes or rich mushroom risottos—its depth and tannic structure hold up well.
  • Can also play well in “Old World vs New World” red flights or Latin-themed menus showcasing Mendoza wine.
  • Good for both food pairing service and free-flow by the glass in more upscale casual venues.

• Operational Efficiency
  • Standard 750 mL format fits current shelving and wine-list formats without conversion.
  • The wine’s approachable yet premium positioning makes for reliable turnover; lesser risk of slow movement compared to ultra-premium bottles.
  • Producer origin (Altocedro) has tangible narrative (Lebanese-Argentine heritage, artisan farmed vineyards) which aids staff sell-through.
  • With 14% ABV and approachable style, less staff hesitation for by-the-glass pours.

• Profit Potential
  • Positioned as premium but not ultra-luxury—allows strong margin while still accessible to guests.
  • Use as an upgrade option from standard house red, or spotlight in themed events (e.g., Argentine wine night) to drive incremental check.
  • Story and region help justify premium glass price over generic imports; size and format support standard inventory turn.
  • Encourage bottle service for small groups paired with shared meats/charcuterie to boost spend.
