History of the Varietal

This varietal appeared in Mendoza lands thanks to the arrival of our Italian descendants, master winemakers who cultivated with their own hands the flagship grape of the Tuscany region (Italy).

Today, Sangiovese expresses its full potential in the Ugarteche area of ​​Luján de Cuyo. There, we work with a specific plot, where a moderate maceration was carried out using grapes from 5 rows of vines harvested 365 days prior to the 2024 harvest.
