Reviews and Ratings

This full-bodied Malbec from Maipu is staggeringly great for the price. Inicio means "the beginning" and is a tribute to the family's grandfather Sebastiano. The grapes are harvested from the rich earth of Mendoza in the heart of Argentina's wine producing region. - Community Wine Reviews
