“The way we work together is not very

common. We are people that work with

people to get quick answers. Everyone at

Piattelli works together, you can even see

Jon and Arlene, you can see them in the

vineyards working with everyone. They are

not behind the scenes owners and I think

that is important.”

This arid fruitfulness premium grapes

with distinctive flavors.

the mountains.

GRAVITY FEED SYSTEM

• One of 3 gravity-flow wineries in all of Argentina.

• The winery has two lower levels that move the grapes through to wine with minimal electricity. Removes need for pumps which can damage and/or oxidize the fruit and juice.

• The process maximizes flavor by preventing grapes from breaking prematurely, seeds from being crushed, and juice from being oxygenated and heated.

Top level: Grapes are broken open, not crushed. Seeds are kept intact, keeping juice free from harsh flavors.Middle level: Wine flows into fermentation room where constant integration of pulp, skins and juice is maintained for more robust flavors and color.Bottom level: Wine flows down to barrel room for barrel aging without use of heat-transferring pumps and pipes.
