✨ Technical Specifications
The Terroir Series Finca Coletto is a tribute to the dedicated grape growers of Mendoza, specifically honoring Victorio Coletto, who planted this historic vineyard in El Peral, Tupungato within the Uco Valley back in 1955. Situated at an elevation of over 1,100 meters, these old, ungrafted vines benefit from intense solar radiation and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts. This unique microclimate yields small, concentrated berries with thick skins. Trapiche crafts this single-vineyard masterpiece to showcase the profound depth of Uco Valley Malbec, aging the wine in French oak barrels to seamlessly integrate its robust structure, velvety tannins, and signature notes of dark plums, balsamic herbs, and mineral-driven acidity.
🍾 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.
