Education: winemaker
Studies abroad: professional practices in California (Sonoma) - September, October and November 1999: production of high-end red and white wines in barrels

Vision of the Argentinian wine industry: we have achieved a good worldwide position and recognition regarding price and quality relationship. Our share in different markets should go on increasing and we should not offer only Malbec. We should try to push up the consumption of better-quality wines in the domestic market. We must carry out a better promotion of wine as a culture and family drink and offer good products in the price segment of substitute wines (beer) and those for daily consumption

Opinion: this wine expresses the typical characteristics of this varietal, where red fruit aromas stand out, combined with notes provided by oak. It offers sweet and mild tannins and a deep red color

Vision of the Argentinian wine industry: in the past few years, there have been positive changes regarding the concept of winemaking, as winemakers and companies perfectly know that in order to insert and stay in both domestic and foreign markets, it is necessary to offer an excellent value for money. This premise is possible due to technological incorporation, vineyard developments and professional training
