✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from Trapiche's pioneering maritime vineyards in Chapadmalal, just six kilometers from the Atlantic Ocean in the Buenos Aires province, the Costa & Pampa Pinot Grigio represents a bold departure from Argentina's traditional high-altitude Andean terroirs. Here, the rolling green hills are swept by constant, cool ocean breezes, creating a unique microclimate with moderate temperatures and high humidity. This maritime influence allows the Pinot Grigio grapes to ripen slowly, retaining exceptional natural acidity and developing delicate, nuanced aromas. Fermented entirely in stainless steel to preserve its pristine fruit character, this wine captures the fresh, saline essence of the Argentine coast, offering a vibrant and mineral-driven profile that is redefining the country's white wine landscape.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1883 by Tiburcio Benegas, Bodega Trapiche stands as one of the historic pillars of Argentine viticulture. Located in Coquimbito, Maipú, within a meticulously restored 1912 Florentine-style bodega, the estate balances immense production scale with nuanced terroir exploration. Under the ownership of Grupo Peñaflor and winemaking direction of Sergio Casé, Trapiche orchestrates fruit from over 1,000 hectares of estate vineyards alongside long-term grower partnerships. Holdings span high-altitude alluvial terraces in the Uco Valley, classic Primera Zona terroirs, and pioneering cool-climate oceanic sites in Chapadmalal on the Atlantic coast. Viticulture emphasizes environmental sustainability, complemented by certified biodynamic estate parcels. In the cellar, gentle extraction and refined oak aging define benchmark expressions like the iconic Iscay blend, the single-vineyard Terroir Series Malbecs, and the maritime Costa & Pampa line, showcasing the dynamic breadth of contemporary Argentina.
