Under these basics guidelines, not only wine making but also viticulture are carried out with the greatest care in order to get the most from each grape in its environment, getting an absolutely natural, unique, pleasant and genuine wine.

A new concept, a different line of wines that will definitely touch the soul of the beholder, Caligiore wines are elaborated from the family's own vineyards, all situated above 900 meters above sea level, in the district of Luján de Cuyo, at the foot of the majestic Andes mountains, fully capturing the unique flavor of Mendoza River´s Upper valley. the winery’s products have been certificied by international organic production standards endorsed by O.I.A.
