Vision of the Argentinian wine industry:
Activity in full development, focused on the business around the Malbec which still surprises us with its different expressions due to the different “terriors”. It is expected that the development of this grape variety continues for many years, captivating new consumers that have not known it yet. For those who are already used to Malbec and want a change, the “blends” will come in, based on Malbec of course.
