Argento
Bodega Argento was born from wanting to capture a sense of place; the dramatic Mendoza landscape. This is a region with a semi-arid climate, alluvial soils, pure mountain water from the Andes Range, dizzying high altitude, powerful dry winds and high sunlight intensity. From 2012 they wanted to lead the way in the production of organic and sustainable wines to preserve the best of this region in each bottle. Juan Pablo Murgia is the head winemaker and was born locally in Mendoza yet travelled to gain experience in California, Bordeaux and Uruguay. Juan has been recognised as a pioneer of the region.
Bodega Argento is the leading organic wine producer in Mendoza, with 344 hectares under Official Certification. Bodega Argento vineyards and wineries are certified under Fairtrade International Standard which has rigid health and safety standards to protect farmers and workers' well-being as well as those of nearby communities and ecosystems. They have implemented drip irrigation in all its sites, invested in a residual water treatment plant plus initiatives such as conducting research with the National Cuyo University into plant and flower species that encourage natural defences for the vineyards. Currently 95% of waste generated is recycled with aims to achieve net-zero.
