Items

This project began in 2012 as an inspiration to focus on the pure soul and terroir of the Uco Valley, specifically Gualtallary and Vista Flores. The Michelini brothers, also the owners of Mendoza’s renowned Zorzal, are creating their first biodynamic wines under this label. The three “main” Michelini brothers (Gerardo, Matias and Juanpi) are joined by “the fourth Michelini,” Gabriel, who is not involved in the other projects. The outdoor winery consists of egg-shaped concrete amphorae in The Vines of Mendoza’s Winemaker’s Village project. This boutique, biodynamic project is the first of its kind in Mendoza with very limited production of quality, terroir-driven wines. The two hectare farm is planted in circles with 360 degrees of exposure to the sun. The different varietals are planted from the center outward, as its vegetative cycle dictates.
