✨ Technical Specifications
Trivento's flagship Eolo Malbec is born from a singular, historic vineyard planted in 1912 on the high-altitude terraces of Lulunta, Luján de Cuyo, along the northern bank of the Mendoza River. Named after Aeolus, the Greek god of the winds, Eolo pays tribute to the forces of nature that define Mendoza's unique climate. This centenarian vineyard, irrigated by the traditional flood method using pure Andean snowmelt, yields tiny, highly concentrated berries. The wine is crafted with meticulous care, undergoing gravity-fed vinification and aging for 18 months in French oak barrels, followed by an extended period in the bottle. The result is a profound, deeply expressive Malbec that balances intense dark fruit, floral violet notes, and complex mineral undertones with velvety, age-worthy tannins.
🍾 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.
