The Vineyard – Gualtallary, Uco Valley
Situated at the foot of the Tupungato volcano, the vineyard benefits from calcareous soils, strong diurnal temperature swings (35°C to 17°C), and low rainfall. These conditions foster grapes with intense flavour concentration, excellent polyphenolic maturity, and natural acidity. The Michelini brothers, pioneers of modern Argentinian winemaking, harness this site’s unique attributes using low-intervention techniques to craft terroir-driven wines that have gained global recognition.
