It's a regional variety originating from south west France where it is mainly used in blends. It has been cultivated to a higher standard in Argentina and wines made from the single variety here have a spicy characteristic and are more highly valued.

@SunshineGirl You are right. Argentine Malbecs can be very good.

@SunshineGirl Does Italy have any good versions of that particular type?

@DavidT8899 Argentina is famous for it . . introduced by European migrants.

@SunshineGirl I know Argentina is,but I'm wondering if there are any other places that can make good versions of it as well .

@DavidT8899 It's not one of the 'noble grapes' that transplant easily like cabernet sauvignon, pinot noir, etc.
