Tacuil
Remote. There is no better way to define Tacuil, an incredible place located right in the middle of the Calchaquí Valley, specifically in Molinos, Salta. There, somewhat far inland, the Dávalos family discovered an area that was suitable for extreme winegrowing and an outstanding terroir for producing high-altitude wines.
