In a present where Argentine wine strengthens its identity around the world, some wineries stand out with firm steps. Such is the case of Trivento, which in 2025 celebrates two key milestones: its first Malbec with Denomination of Controlled Origin (DOC) Luján de Cuyo and the recognition of its oenological director, Germán Di Césare, elected winemaker of the year by the prestigious British critic Tim Atkin MW.
Far from being isolated, these achievements condense a philosophy that combines respect for the origin, technical precision and vision of the future. “Germán has the talent, uncommon, to make reliable and delicious wines at affordable prices, and also to create high -end labels that are truly exceptional,” ATkin said during the presentation of his report “Argentina Special Report 2025”.
The mention was not accidental: four tribentic labels obtained 95 points, while Stratus 2022 reached 96. A recognition that supports Atkin’s statement: the winery manages to balance volume and quality without losing personality.
A growing legacy
Di Césare arrived in Trivento with just 22 years and was growing next to the winery. In 2017 he assumed the direction of the oenological team, strengthening an identity based on the faithful expression of the Mendoza terroir. His seal can be traced in the international success of Trivento reserve – the best -selling Argentine wine in the world – and in the depth of labels such as Eolo and Stratus.
“This recognition is also from the team, which shares my vision of making expressive, authentic wines, capable of telling a story from the mountain to the cup,” says the winemaker.
Malbec with origin and character
That search to be genuine materializes in the Golden Reserve Malbec Doc Luján de Cuyo, prepared under the demands of the first denomination of origin of Latin America. The wine was born from a vineyard planted in 1915, a plot of just 2.36 hectares located 980 meters high, on the northern terrace of the Mendoza River. There, the vines offer grapes of exceptional purity and balance.
“It is a solid malbec, which breathes history and is projected to the future,” summarizes Di Césare.
The elaboration respects the character of the place: fermentation in concrete pools, 12 months of parenting in French oak barrels and a year of stowage in bottle. The result is an elegant wine, with plum, blackberry, flowers and spices notes. In the mouth, soft tannins, freshness and a long and persistent final.
Authenticity, innovation and sustainability
Founded in 1996, Trivento built a diverse portfolio that reflects the multifaceted character of Mendoza, with vineyards in Luján de Cuyo, Uco Valley and Maipú. Since 2020 he leads the global sales of Argentine wines and, for more than a decade, incorporates sustainability as a strategic axis. After adhering to the 10 principles of the global pact, the winery began reporting goals aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations Agenda 2030 and annually publishes its environmental and social impact indicators.
Trivento acquired a historic winery in Luján de Cuyo, built in the 40s, and that facilitated his entry to the Council of Doc Luján de Cuyo. Today actively participates in the organs that regulate the denomination. This decision confirms its conviction that wine is, above all, a cultural expression.
A vision of the future
With an internationally recognized winemaker and a Malbec that pays tribute to one of the oldest vineyards in the region, Trivento reaffirms its position between the wineries that mark the pulse of the current Argentine wine. A model that combines deep roots with an eye on tomorrow.
