Trapiche's Single Vineyard series is a tribute to the dedicated independent growers of Mendoza, with the 'Victorio Coletto' bottling standing as a crown jewel. This wine originates from a historic vineyard in El Peral, Tupungato, within the high-altitude Uco Valley. Planted in 1958, these ancient, ungrafted Malbec vines are lovingly tended by the Coletto family. At an elevation of over 1,100 meters, the dramatic diurnal temperature shifts preserve freshness while allowing the grapes to develop deep concentration. The wine is typically aged in French oak barrels, resulting in a sophisticated Malbec that weaves together intense notes of dark plums, violets, and graphite, supported by a mineral backbone and velvety tannins that reflect its unique terroir.

Operating from a historic, beautifully restored Florentine-style winery built in 1912, the estate is celebrated for introducing French grape varieties and modern viticultural techniques to the region. Under the guidance of renowned winemakers, Trapiche focuses on expressing the diverse terroirs of Mendoza—ranging from high-altitude Andean vineyards to their pioneering coastal estate in Chapadmalal, Buenos Aires.
