Zolo was founded in 2003 by Patricia Ortiz. It produces several ranges of wines, distinguished by their price tier. The reserves are second only to the blacks. This wine is a comparatively rare beast in Argentina, a cabernet franc, the French red grape that is the backbone of red wines from Chinon in the Loire, and second only to merlot in the Bordeaux area of St-Emilion. Indubitably, the grape has travelled successfully to Italy and the New World, in each case bringing its characteristic pyrazine (green pepper) calling card and robust tannic structure.
