Pisano RPF Tannat Uruguay

Garzon Wine Region, Uruguay

Pisano's flagship Tannat, from their family vineyards near Progreso in the Canelones region, displaying the variety's traditional Uruguayan character: dense dark fruit, firm tannin, and an earthy depth that reflects the Atlantic maritime influence on this robustly structured variety.

Pairing intelligence

• main: Tannat's robust structure and dark fruit are the natural companion for South American grass-fed beef; chimichurri's herb brightness provides the contrast while roasted peppers add the sweetness that balances the tannin.
• main: Wood-grilled beef ribs are the everyday companion for Uruguayan Tannat; the wine's dark fruit and firm structure cut through the fat while the wood smoke adds a complementary depth.
• main: Tannat's power and structure demand slow-cooked ribs; the Malbec reduction creates a wine-based bridge while herbs add the aromatic complexity that mirrors the wine's own depth.
• cheese: Uruguay's most beloved aged cheese with dulce de leche is a quintessentially Uruguayan combination; dulce de leche's caramel sweetness bridges the wine's dark fruit while aged Colonia's tang provides the contrast.
