I identify with the American school following the line of wines with new world style. I integrated oenological equipment in different wineries of great trajectory and prestige in Argentina until we started our family project in 2002 together with my brother Héctor. My goal is to develop expressive wines with high quality capable of competing with the most prestigious of the old and new world.
