El Enemigo
El Enemigo was born when Alejandro Vigil and Adrianna Catena, Nicolás's youngest daughter, decided to create the Aleanna winery, to rescue some of the forgotten traditional techniques of Argentine viticulture. The ultimate goal is, according to Alejandro Vigil, to obtain a wine with the least possible intervention, a "transparent" wine in which the oenologist's hand does not leave a mark, but in any case serves to interpret the particularities of each terroir.
