Marcelo Pelleriti Wines

That decision marked the beginning of the «Marcelo Pelleriti Reserve» - now known as «Marcelo Pelleriti Signature» - the first wine of his personal line, a creation embodying his life story and representing the true and pure expression of the terroir.

Mendoza is Argentina’s most important winegrowing region, with 60% of the nation’s production originating from this area. In the Uco Valley, at the foot of the Andes and at an altitude of 1000 metres above sea level, lie the vineyards from which Marcelo Pelleriti's wines are created. At the heart of the Tunuyán region is Vista Flores, which benefits from its continental climate and 200 millimetres of rainfall per year. Thanks to the altitude, the vines enjoy generous sunlight during the day, while the cool nights provide welcome freshness. Hence, the vines in Tunuyán benefit from those optimal climatic and geographical conditions essential to producing great wines. The alluvial soils are rich in minerals and thus ideal for growing the Malbec grape variety, irrigated with pure melt water, giving the wine its characteristic minerality and finesse. Local vineyards are divided into smallish plots of 1 to 3 hectares only. The terroir of the region is reflected in the quality and character of the wines - a unique style not found anywhere else in the world. The wines are produced with extreme care and dedication, in keeping with long-established traditions. Malbec grapes are harvested by hand and processed meticulously.

Expressing terroir within the wine glass is a language that Marcelo Pelleriti will never cease to explore and use. It's the same as with music, to which he also dedicates himself with total devotion. «Wine and music. These two worlds are my greatest passions and at the same time my greatest challenges - I need them both to be happy».
