WHAT IS TANGO?
Tango is a dance that was born at the end of the 19th century in Buenos Aires in search of the expression of identity and freedom.
The elegant and passionate movement of Tango shows the exotic cultural mix of these first tango dancers. This dance and music represent the Argentinian history and culture.
For everyone, “dancing a tango” is like create a dancing full of sensuality, where the dancers use their feelings in different movements and figures to express passion, drama, romance, love and lack of love in a couple.
Tango always appeals to the senses and creates a bond between the dancers.
WHY WE CELEBRATE THIS WINE?
Argentina is the country of tango and high-altitude wines. Tango is the genuine expression of the men of the port, and wine is the genuine expression of the inland, where is made.
How are wine and tango linked? Despite wine is made in the mountain, the city of Buenos Aires is its great market. And the field of tango, with its milongas until late at night and its two-four time, is inspired by the fruity flavor of Argentinian wines. Some men make wines that nourish tango and others make tango that nourishes the soul of those who make wines. Lo Tengo is the modern synthesis of that conjunction of work and bohemian.
Today we invite you to dance with us, and celebrate the new look of our wines, Lo Tengo
LO TENGO MALBEC
Deep red color, with violet hints. Sweet and spicy aromas reminiscent of black pepper. Ripe red fruit on the palate , with smooth, harmonious tannins.
Argentina is famous all over the world because of its Malbec. And within Argentina, Mendoza is the province where it grows best, especially in the region of Luján de Cuyo, at the foot of the Andes mountains, where the oldest and more balanced vineyards of the country are located. High terroir -thousand meters above sea level- of poor soils and good sunshine, there Malbec finds its beloved weather and results in the most refined wines, which display a deep purple color, aromatic, fruity and spiced nose, as well as fleshy palate with mild, rounded and soft tannins. This is the kind of red wine that captivates the new palate consumers.
MALBEC MATCHING
As every wine with deep fruit flavors and mild tannins, a good Malbec matches a wide range of dishes, such as read meat like t-bone steak and tasty river fish like trout. It also matches well a selection of cold meats, such as country sausage, typical of Spanish cuisine, as well as rice and Italian-flavored pasta. It is an ideal wine for Mediterranean combinations with meat such as bistecca alla fiorentina or the Catalan escalibada (grilled vegetables) with grilled red peppers.
LO TENGO TORRONTÉS
Greenish yellow with hints of gold. Intense aromas of white peach, rose petal, and jasmine. Pleasant and well balanced on the palate.
This is the only Argentinian variety that evolved from the colonial times and is not found anywhere in the world. Malmsey-like aromatic white grape -like Muscat of Alexandria- Torrontés is cultivated in the country, where it found the perfect terroir for its bright expression. Its wines display bright greenish yellow color with pure aromas of jasmine and orange blossom with peach hints. On the palate, it is austere and direct, with scented character. This is a perfect white wine to drink at any time and suitable for all palates. Lo Tengo Torrontés is a perfect varietal that displays an aromatic nose of white flowers, ripe citrus fruits as well as a light and refreshing palate with a lingering and tasty finish.
TORRONTÉS MATCHING
Its strong aromatic character, which makes this varietal distinctive, with a light and fresh mouth, turns it into the natural candidate for Asian and fusion cuisine. It can match sushi, which makes a sharp contrast with wasabi, as well as the tasty and colorful Thai and Chinese food.
