The most accurate way to describe Argentine wine, in the end, is that it is in superposition — French in its vines, Spanish in its language and oldest grapes, Argentine in its mountains and sun, and Italian in its hands, its tables and its temperament. The genius of the country was not to copy any one of these — it was to let them all live together in the same glass. So next time you pour an Argentine red, raise it once for the Andes, and once for the boat from Genoa. Both are in there.
