✨ Technical Specifications
Trivento, named after the three winds—Polar, Zonda, and Sudestada—that sweep through the vineyards of Mendoza, crafts its Golden Reserve Malbec as a tribute to the historic terroir of Luján de Cuyo. Sourced from hand-selected, old-vine grapes planted in alluvial soils near the Mendoza River, this 100% Malbec represents the traditional heartland of Argentine viticulture. The grapes undergo careful fermentation followed by approximately 12 months of aging in French oak barrels and foudres, resulting in a deeply concentrated wine. It offers a rich profile of ripe red fruits, plums, and strawberries, intertwined with delicate notes of vanilla, chocolate, and black pepper, framed by silky tannins and a vibrant, balanced acidity.
🍾 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.
