Cisplatino refers to the area located "on this side" of the Río de la Plata and the Pisano brothers showcase the unique identity of Uruguayan wines with this range focussed on freshness and fruit expression. Perfumed, lifted and bright, this is juicy bright Tannat.
Perfumed, lifted and bright, this juicy Tannat is dark but ruby-red alive with plummy joy, walnuts, spices, and young mushrooms. The palate has a smooth structure, with good density, with soft smoky aromas of blueberries, blackberries, and raisins. A clear, unadorned expression shaped by precise cellar work.
Pisano Family Wines is nestled in Progreso, 45 minutes uphill from Montevideo, some 20km from the broadest point of the Rio del Plata estuary before it meets the chill of the South Atlantic. The Pisano family share an Italian and Basque heritage and this family-run estate traces its roots back to 1914, when Italian immigrant, Don Césare Secundino Pisano, moved to Progreso and planted vineyards there.
Today, the fourth generation of Pisano's, brothers Daniel, Eduardo, and Gustavo, keep tradition alive.First and foremost, Pisano is a family winery and each brother brings his own passion: Eduardo manages vineyard care with artisanal precision; Gustavo oversees the cellar and blending; and Daniel, the family's charismatic spokesperson, drives exports to far‑flung places, even to Antarctica, bringing Uruguay into the global wine conversation.
The Pisano family are fiercely proud of Tannat, Uruguay's flagship grape. They balance tradition with experimentation, selecting clones, adjusting yields, and refining techniques to capture both the grape's depth and the land's character. Vine care is personal: canopy management, selective hand‑harvesting, and patiently waiting for perfect ripeness are part of their artisanal process. Their mission? To craft wines that are not merely good, but distinctly expressive, shaped by a century‑old Italian‑Basque heritage, and delivered with unmistakable Uruguayan soul.
Grown on the Clay- Calcareous soils of Progreso, this 100% Tannat is aged for 3 to 4 months in French oak barrels.
Perfect with all meats, especially lamb, pasta, and mild cheeses. Very good with Uruguayan empanadas and pastries.
