✨ Technical Specifications
While 'Argento' is not a standard active bottling under the Trivento portfolio—often confused with the separate, independent Bodega Argento brand—Trivento itself is highly regarded for its white winemaking in Mendoza. Trivento's Chardonnay program highlights the high-altitude terroir of Mendoza, particularly the Uco Valley and Luján de Cuyo. In these elevated vineyards, the dramatic diurnal temperature shifts and intense Andean sunlight allow Chardonnay grapes to develop rich tropical fruit flavors, such as pineapple and pear, balanced by a vibrant, crisp acidity. Typically, Trivento's Chardonnays undergo a combination of stainless steel fermentation to preserve freshness and partial oak aging to introduce delicate notes of vanilla, toasted brioche, and a creamy texture, reflecting the modern, elegant style of Argentine white wines.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1996 as the Argentine venture of the renowned wine group Viña Concha y Toro, Bodega Trivento is situated in Maipú within the premier winemaking heart of Mendoza, Argentina. The estate takes its poetic name from the three signature winds—the Polar, Zonda, and Sudestada—that sweep across the Andean foothills, actively shaping the microclimates and health of the vines. Emphasizing modern, sustainable viticulture alongside precise cellar craft, the winery sources fruit from prime high-altitude vineyards across the Uco Valley, Luján de Cuyo, and Maipú. Trivento is celebrated internationally for its bold, fruit-forward red wines, particularly its benchmark Malbec bottlings such as the Golden Reserve and the ultra-premium icon Eolo, as well as refreshing white and sparkling offerings.
