Zingaretti Estate is located in Villa Bastías, Tupungato, Uco Valley. Its heterogeneous soils and century-old vines are the origin of delicate and elegant wines that showcase the fresh fruit of this valley.
In the late 1800s, the Zingaretti family arrived from Italy and settled in Mendoza. Along with a few other families, they were among the first viticulturists in the Tupungato area. Around 1914, they brought grape cuttings from France to establish the vineyard, which now boasts plants that are over 100 years old.

In 2008, we began purchasing grapes from the Zingaretti family and using them to create various wines within our portfolio. The quality quickly stood out, meeting expectations, and in 2012, we conducted the first harvest for Zingaretti Estate Vineyard Designate. Due to the wine's quality, the winery became interested in this estate, which it eventually acquired in 2018.

Its soil is characterized by a coarse, loamy-sandy texture with rocks appearing at various depths. Within Zingaretti, there are distinct soil differences, allowing us to divide the vineyard into zones and manage and harvest it differentially, thereby achieving the purest expression.
