Bodega Pablo Fallabrino is a small, family-run winery located in Atlántida, Uruguay. The Fallabrino family has Italian winemaking roots dating back to the early 20th century, and Pablo carries forward that heritage with a focus on distinctive expressions of Tannat, Uruguay’s signature grape. While Tannat is usually known for being bold, structured, and tannic, Alcyone takes a very different path. It is a dessert wine that blends winemaking traditions - borrowing inspiration from Italian passito and fortified styles, while using modern techniques to create something singular.
Alcyone Tannat begins with carefully harvested Tannat grapes. Instead of being vinified into a robust dry red, the grapes undergo a partial fermentation, leaving natural residual sugar. The wine is then infused with a proprietary blend of herbs and natural extracts, and fortified with brandy to stabilize and enrich it. This hybrid process yields a luscious, aromatic dessert wine that bridges the line between wine, vermouth and fine liqueur.
The result is an inky, velvety liquid with layers of complexity. Alcyone typically rests for a time in oak, further integrating flavours and softening edges.
Appearance: Deep garnet to near-black, with a rich viscosity that clings to the glass.
Aromas: Intense notes of cacao, espresso, dried figs, caramel, vanilla and exotic spices. Aromas reminiscent of Italian amaro or chocolate liqueur.
Palate: Silky, sweet, and mouth-coating. Flavours of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, dates, and orange peel dominate, balanced by gentle bitterness from the Tannat grape and herbal infusion.
Finish: Long, warming, and complex, leaving impressions of mocha and spice.
Temperature: Serve slightly chilled, around 12–14°C
Pairings: Alcyone shines with chocolate desserts, flourless cakes, or anything featuring caramel, nuts or coffee. It can also be paired with strong cheeses such as blue cheese.
Alcyone Tannat is a conversation piece that blends tradition, innovation and indulgence.
