Alpamanta

Since 2005, Bodega Alpamanta has been a pioneer in the production of organic and biodynamic wine in the Mendoza area. Alpamanta inaugurated its own winemaking plant, which as of March 2022 houses 17 varieties of wine.
The estate covers 35 hectares of vineyards managed with care and respect for the environment and its biodiversity, where flora, fauna, people and the cosmos coexist and function as a whole. Alpamanta is a native word meaning “love for the land” and is one of the few certified organic and biodynamic projects in Argentina.
