Pisano is located in the Progreso district of Canelones. Owner Daniel Pisano Arretxea says that he “did not want to conquer the wine with wood.” Count me among those who applaud such a sentiment. The aim here was at the stylistic fence line between new world and old world, and it’s achieved nicely. It is very balanced, easy to drink, and approachable now for its fresh red fruit, blueberry, rounded tannins and soft vanilla nuance.
