OVERVIEW
120 Years of Tradition and Prestige
In 1888, Italian immigrants planted the first
vines in the Vistalba Valley, Luján de Cuyo

consisted of different European varietals, but

landscape of Vistalba´s vineyards. Now, 120
years later, shoots from mother vines continue
producing groundbreaking wines.
