Awards and Distinctions Decanter Man of the Year, Wine Spectator Distinguished Service Award, Der Feinschmaker Award, Wine and Spirits and Wine Enthusiast Winery Awards. We have dedicated our life, our passion and our spirit to transforming a high-altitude desert oasis into one of the most beautiful and unique wine-growing areas in the world. This is the story of how we have put together the history of the family and our historic vineyards with the most modern viticultural techniques, with the aim of making great wines, expressive of our terroir. It is a story that begins in the 19th century in Italy and continues to this day in the calcareous soils of Mendoza, with unexpected trips to the sunny Napa Valley in California and the prized vineyards of Bordeaux. Learning from the past, and discovering and studying the secrets of nature with a view to the future, we are proud to have turned our beloved Mendoza terroir into the source of the wines that bear our name.
