✨ Technical Specifications
Trivento, named after the three legendary winds—Polar, Zonda, and Sudestada—that sweep through the vineyards of Mendoza, crafts 'Brisa de Abril' (April Breeze) as a tribute to the gentle autumn wind of the Southern Hemisphere. Harvested late in the season during April, the grapes, typically a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier, are allowed to overripen on the vine. This late-harvest process concentrates the natural sugars and aromatic compounds, resulting in a luscious sweet white wine. The high-altitude Mendoza terroir, with its intense sunlight and pure Andean meltwater, imparts a vibrant acidity that beautifully balances the wine's rich notes of honey, ripe stone fruits, and delicate floral undertones.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1996 as the Argentine subsidiary of Chilean wine powerhouse Viña Concha y Toro, Bodega Trivento takes its name from the three Andean winds that shape Mendoza's viticultural landscape: the arid, warming Zonda, the cooling oceanic Sudestada, and the frigid winter Polar. Headquartered in Maipú, Trivento manages extensive vineyard holdings spanning premier subregions of the Uco Valley and Luján de Cuyo. The estate's viticulture thrives in semi-arid, high-altitude alluvial terroirs characterized by dramatic diurnal temperature swings and well-draining stony-loam soils. Under head winemaker Germán Di Cesare, Trivento emphasizes aromatic precision, tension, and freshness over overt extraction or heavy oak. Achieving B Corp certification for its environmental and social stewardship, the winery balances massive commercial scale with technical innovation, exemplified by its pioneering Reserve White Malbec—a blanc de noirs made via rapid early-harvest pressing—alongside its acclaimed, structured benchmark, the Golden Reserve Malbec.
