In order to showcase the unique profile of each soil, we have created a line of single soil wines. Each harvest, vinified and aged the exact same way, highlighting how a difference of soil can create a completely different wine. Limo means silt in Spanish and refers to the patch of silty soil on the northern edge of the vineyard. Lightly textured and cool, these soils produce Malbec with bright red fruit flavors and fresh acidity.

Finca La Escuela is located in Altamira, the premiere region for Malbec. It is named for the rural school (Escuela) located on the property. TintoNegro actively supports the school through regular donations and scholarships, furthering the education of our rural vineyard families. The vineyard has a patchwork of unique soil structures: sandy in some areas, stony patches of calcareous rocks, and light sandy, silt. Each soil profile lot within the vineyard is harvested at different dates producing different wines which Finca La Escuela La Arena (sand) is one of them
