Los Noques – Malbec – Uco Valley

Overview: Our family started the wine world when Don Juan Arrigoni, son of Bergamo immigrants, started to plant the first vines in a little vineyard in Gualtallary, Valle de Uco, Mendoza. After almost 50 years of selling the grapes to the main wineries in the region, Carlos Leone – Don Juan??s son in law, and Juan Carlos – son of Don Juan, bought a small winery located at La Consulta, also in Valle de Uco. From then on, every day they pursue to find the best flavors from our soil and share them with their friends, tradition that is preserved to this day. Our vineyards are located in the Valle de Uco, Mendoza, at an altitude of 1.100 meters above the sea level. Our soil is calcareous, sandy on the surface and stony in depth. This type of soil, typical of the Gualtallary area where our vineyards are located, soils of natural low yields and high concentration. The continental climate and the height allow a high temperature range between day and night, which means that the skin of the grapes is widened to protect them, being the skin the main key of the flavors that can be distinguished in our wines. In line with our commitment to the environment, the entire plantation has a drip irrigation system.
