SuperUco

Like many great projects, SuperUco was born as a shared dream that, with time and hard work, became a solid reality. All four Michelini brothers Gerardo, Matías, Gabriel and Juan Pablo, along with Daniel Sammartini, thought out an idea which they later spent almost five years developing and transforming until it became the fruitful present they had once imagined. Five people bound together by a project, an idea of a certain kind of wine and, most of all, a passion. 

These days SuperUco embodies a constant search for refining the art of making wines out of the land in which they live, the land they are a part of, and they do it with consistently growing precision. They make pure wines with a transparent message that fully expresses the complexity of their origin: Valle de Uco, their place in the world.
