The land

Mendoza

Andino's Mendoza producer, Pannunzio Wines, sits at 800 m a.s.l. in Barrancas, Maipú, a temperate arid enclave with a daily thermal amplitude of up to 20 °C, which drives slow, balanced ripening, and only about 200 mm of rain a year. The terroir has two soil profiles: silty with a rocky, alluvial-stone structure from the Mendoza River to the north, and deep sand to the south.
