The land
Patagonia
Andino's Patagonian producer, Bodega Patritti, is in San Patricio del Chañar, Neuquén. Argentina's wine-growing Patagonia spans Neuquén, Río Negro and La Pampa and is a heterogeneous territory of distinct soils, altitudes and climates. The climate is cold, with a significant day-night thermal amplitude and strong winds that improve fruit health and concentrate colour and aromas; San Patricio del Chañar is described as one of Argentina's coldest fine-wine regions. Soils in the estate vineyard are stony.
