Wines little known to the market, non-traditional vines and not so common geographical locations, are the common denominator of what is new in the wine industry and what the domestic consumer market is asking for today.
There is, today, a wine consumer who seeks to explore new paths, be surprised and experience new flavors, other aromas. Here are some examples of the wines to come.
Mastrantonio Wines is the personal enterprise of Diego J. Mastrantonio. The winery was born to honor his ancestors, who worked the vineyard in Italy. Today it is positioned in the national market and in Brazil with five lines. Vito Corleone is one of them. It is a young line of Argentine wines with an Italian imprint, made up of a very expressive Malbec and a Red Blend, without aging in barrels.
Vito Corleone Malbec 2019 comes from the Rivadavia area, with loamy soils with the presence of stones. Meanwhile, Vito Corleone Red Blend 2019 is a Malbec-based blend, which is completed with Bonarda and Petit Verdot, from vineyards in the Rivadavia and Junín areas.

ALWASI – YOUNG LINE – R2021.jpg
Alwasi Wine is the personal project of Elisa Matías Azin, an entrepreneur who has been working in the wine industry for several years –but from another place– and in 2021 was encouraged to launch her first wines on the market as a tribute to Alwasi: the guardians who guide and protect the road.
It is a 100% Malbec rosé that is part of Alwasi Estate, the young line of Alwasi Wine that stands out for its freshness. Its acidity is well balanced with that typical Malbec sweetness, which makes it very easy to drink. Perfect to enjoy as an aperitif, accompany pizzas or pasta with mild sauces.

RED OF THE WILLOWS.jpg
If we talk about the latest trends in the world of wine, sustainable projects continue to grow and set the course for an industry that is increasingly committed to the environment.
In this sense, the Bartolomé family, creators of the Pielihueso project, are part of this change. This winery started in 2017 when Celina and Alejandro Bartolomé planted vines in Los Chacayes and Los Sauces, Mendoza. His oenological philosophy consists of producing products that faithfully express their place of origin. All wines are organically grown, low intervention wines, unfiltered and made with indigenous yeasts.
This is a 50% Malbec and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon wine. The labels were even created by the family: Carmela, the other daughter, designed the labels based on her brother’s artwork. When it comes to closing their wines, they also bet on the sustainable philosophy and the recyclable Nomacorc stoppers from Vinventions.
