The term ‘Reserva’, for which recognition is being requested, can be used in any of the recognised geographical areas included in the attached list, which can also be found on the website http://www.inv.gov.ar, provided that they comply with the definition of ‘Reserva’

Definition:

‘Reserva’: the term ‘Reserva’ identifies wine made from the grapes listed in the Annex to Resolution INV C.22/08 or resulting from a blend of those grape varieties, which are suitable for making superior quality wine. ‘Reserva’ wines must be made using at least one hundred and thirty-five kilograms (135 kg) of grapes for each one hundred litres (100 l) of wine. Red ‘Reserva’ wines are aged for a minimum of twelvė (12) months after they reach oenological stability. For white and rosé wines, the minimum ageing time may not be less that six (6) months. The INV’s Declaration on the use of oak barrels for ‘Reserva’ wine is attached hereto. Resolution INV C.23/08, which stipulates that the terms ‘Barrica’, ‘Criado en Barrica de Roble’ and ‘Crianza en Roble’, or other similar terms, may be used on the label only if oak containers have actually been used to give the wine the particular characteristics of the wood, is also attached.
