Retoño

Cafayate


With a lovely setting in the inner courtyard of Nanni winery, Retoño has a romantic, old-world interior. The menu is short, but features mains such as roast trout, and sweetbreads in a creamy torrontés sauce. As it's not owned by the bodega, the wines aren't especially good value.
