Familia Grittini Winery started at the famous and mystic Argentinian Patagonia. Featuring 54 hectares devoted to production, this exclusive winery is located in the Province of Neuquén, in the small District of San Patricio del Chañar. In this place, there is a micro climate with frequent and intense wind, scarce rainfall and humidity. All this is essential for the production of excellent wine. Its favorable natural conditions plus the extreme care and technological innovations permit the storage of 810,000 liters of wine of international quality. Familia Grittini Winery is a spirited human undertaking devoted to respect and love for their wines, and for those who make them, from this distant place in the world called Patagonia.

Inside the winery, light cuts through the colors of the round stained-glass windows that represent the different stages of winemaking and reproduce the scenery: grape clusters, casks, bottles, the compass rose and the sun shining on the red cliffs. The winery is in Añelo, on Route 7, in the middle of a wineyard field in the Province of Neuquén. It belongs to Confruva, a stock company presided by Carlos Vidal. Añelo means “the site of the dead man” in the Mapuche tongue, because it was on that ground where, on July 17, 1879, the soldiers led by a sargeant Avila killed Baigorrita, the last Ranquel Indian chief. Nestled in lands of endless horizons and clear skies that give away days full of sunshine and fresh nights covered with stars, it presents optimum characteristics for growing Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Malbec and Merlot grapes. The barrels to keep the wine were acquired in Italy at Della Toffola and the casks were imported from France and acquired at Séguin Moreau and François Frères. The winery design highlights its industrial aspect. From the laboratory, core of the industry, it is possible to supervise how the vineyard works, the grinding activities, and the fermentation and bottling stages. All these performances have given origin to wines with body, intense colors and complex aromas.

The Noemía winery project is the result of the discovery of an ancient vineyard, planted with Malbec grapes in the 1930s, in a remote nook of the Río Negro Valley. The arid weather of the area, the great amplitude between day and night temperatures, the well-defined seasons and the area free of any disease did the rest. Countess Noemí Marine Cinzano, famous producer of Italian wines and Danish winemaker Hans Vinding-Diers, were partners in this project. They perceived the fitness of the place and the perfect micro-climate of the valley for the production of high-quality wines. The vineyard occupies only 1.5 hectares, has been planted with Malbec pre-philloxera vines from the Massale selection and it is irrigated only 5 times a year. After ripening, grapes are collected at dawn, by hand, and then transported directly to the winery. All the production of Noemía de la Patagonia wines is purely handmade, without the intervention of any machine whatsoever. The endless commitment between winemakers, the effort and desire to make old style wines and the reliability of its owners in this delicate undertaking give origin to a rich, complex, concentrated, exuberant, delicate, elegant but, above all, genuine Malbec. All the production is exported directly to England.

The Bodega Humberto Canale, founded in 1909 by the engineer after whose name the company was baptized, had a fundamental role in the development of viticulture in this region. In this way, the high valley of Río Negro acquired the category of specific terroir , and the grapes grown there were recognized as having the single qualities granted by the geographic location of such region. Four generations later, the winery combines the founder's craft wisdom with the most modern techniques. The whole infrastructure is addressed to the constant enlargement of its operation capacity in order to assist the increasing export demand especially from Northern Europe and the United States . Nowadays, the winery is managed by engineer Guillermo Barzi Canale, who together with a highly qualified team, the support of assistants of international prestige and under the protection of the great master Raúl de la Mota, form a group that harmonizes efforts in order to obtain the best viticulture of the cold areas.
