✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
