Producer Information

Piattelli Vineyards is a wine producer making wines in two of Argentina’s predominant wine regions: Mendoza (in the central Cuyo) and Cafayate (in the northern Salta province). Like many producers in these regions, Piattelli specializes in high-altitude wines made from Malbec, as well as Cabernet Sauvignon and Torronts. The main winery is based in Lujn de Cuyo in Mendoza, and began operating in 2002 with a maximum capacity of 40,000 cases. Piattelli Vineyards opened a second winery in Cafayate in 2012, with a gravity-flow vinification system one of the only ones in the country. Concrete egg wine fermenters have also been installed to optimize quality. The vineyards in Lujn de Cuyo reach 3084ft (940m) above sea level and are planted with Malbec, which is used to make the Grand Reserve and Premium Reserve Malbec wines. There is also a vineyard in Tupungato in the Valle de Uco, planted to Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. The area’s high altitudes and low humidity conditions means that pests are not an issue, and the estate’s vineyards in Mendoza are pesticide-free. Piattelli’s vineyards in Cafayate are planted to Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tannat, Cabernet Franc and Torronts. Torronts is particularly well-suited to the area’s high altitude and free-draining sandy soils. The lack of water in the soils lowers yields and concentrates the flavors in the grapes, and Piattelli’s focus in Cafayate is on low-volume production.
