Located in Alto Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina, one of the most prestigious winemaking areas of the province.
135 hectare-vineyard grows at 980 metres above sea level and enjoys an extraordinary climate and huge temperature ranges, all of which create favourable conditions for an adequate ripening of the grapes.
The vines, which were especially brought from France and Italy and planted by Antonio Pulenta, flourish at the feet of the majestic Andes Range. Meltwater flowing from the mountains irrigates the Estate and its purity is reflected in the vigour, intensity and freshness of the fruit. The austere, restrained winery building stands among vineyards. Every detail in it responds to philosophy of vigilant attention to environmental care and is directed to the production of great wines by the combination of traditional styles and ultramodern technology www.pulentaestate.com
