✨ Technical Specifications
Trivento's 'Tribu' range is crafted as a vibrant tribute to the collective spirit of the people, or 'tribe', who tend the vineyards under the watchful eye of the Andes. Grown in the high-altitude, sun-drenched vineyards of Mendoza, this Chardonnay captures the pure, expressive essence of the varietal in its youth. The grapes benefit from intense alpine sunlight and cool mountain nights, preserving a crisp, natural acidity. To maintain its bright, fruit-forward profile, the wine is fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, avoiding oak contact to allow the pristine notes of green apple, ripe peach, and tropical pineapple to take center stage.
🍾 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.
