Score: 94 pts ADEGA

Las Villanas Andrea El Cepillo 2022 is part of Las Villanas, the highest and most exclusive line of Tutu Wines, conceived as the project’s Grand Cru wines. This Malbec is born in IG El Cepillo (Cuartel 5 South), Valle de Uco, at 1,050 meters above sea level, and represents a deep, delicate, and extremely precise interpretation of high-altitude Malbec.

Andrea is the kindest of the Villanas. A villain of goodness and sacrifice. This wine—and the entire “Los Amigos del Bien” project—would not exist without her. Her strength, determination, audacity, and tireless work turned every endeavor into reality. As a tribute, this Malbec seeks to reflect that unique personality: spirited, hard to tame, sensitive, and profound.

The vineyard is planted on silty-sandy soils, with fractured caliche at 60 cm and a sandy matrix with lime—a combination of carbonates and caliche that delivers tension, finesse, and a marked mineral identity.

"A Malbec of great delicacy and firmness, with an ultra-fine structure and an ethereal character. Floral, subtle, and precise, it moves in a higher dimension, with quiet energy and a depth that reveals itself over time."

A wine of refined texture, contained emotion, and absolute elegance, honoring Andrea and defining the highest spirit of Las Villanas.
