Founded in 1928, Bodegas Bianchi is a family-owned Mendoza winery with historic roots in San Rafael and premium vineyards in the Uco Valley. The estate is widely recognized for exquisite Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and expressive red blends that showcase Argentina’s diversity and heritage.

Uco Valley (Los Chacayes)
High-altitude vineyards ranging from 2,700–3,900 feet above sea level feature rocky, mineral-rich soils and strong diurnal shifts, producing wines with elegance, freshness, and precision. These sites underpin Bianchi’s organic and premium expressions.

San Rafael DOC
As one of Argentina’s two officially recognized DOCs, San Rafael delivers warmer conditions, sandy soils, and cooling Andean breezes—resulting in wines with structure, depth, and complexity, central to Bianchi’s classic style.
