“During my first trip to Europe with my parents from my home province of Jujuy, we arrived at the family home of my grandfather Antonio, in Locarno, Canton Ticino, Switzerland.
.
At that time I was twelve years old and my grandfather took me out to bars and introduced me as “my American grandson”. After several days in which I always asked for “acqua” (water), my grandfather with a glass of dry white wine stared at me and said: ”Ruben mai acqua,fa ruggine, prendi un bicchiere di vino ” (Ruben, never water, it rusts, drink a glass of wine).
.
Since then, I was falling in love with Merlot from Ticino, which my grandfather bottled and we now produce in Agrelo – Mendoza. ” Rubén Banfi.
