About us

Jon Malinski, Piattelli Vineyards´ American owner, visited Argentina for the first time in 2002. He fell in love with Mendoza, where he bought the vineyard situated in Cobos Street and started to produce high quality wines. In 2004, the winery was built fulfilling Malinski`s dream and in 2009, Piattelli Vineyards opened its doors to the public.
Even though the winery's style reflects the past, the combination of traditional methods and state-of-the-art technology aims at making high quality wines. The winemaking process of wines is focused on a great care of grapes as well as a complete control of every vinification stage. Until the optimum maturity level is reached, the wines rest in French and American oak barrels in the underground cellar. The concept that guides Piattelli wines is the one of "organic production", conceived by a combination of soil nourished only with natural manure and a
severe winter pruning limiting the yield. The process grants its wines a great concentration of aromas and flavors.
