What you will do

Expand All

Coming from an Italian family, Carlos Pulenta is the founder of the winery, he is the eldest son of Don Antonio Pulenta, one of the founders of Bodega Peñaflor. The winery is inspired by the Creole culture appealing to the avant-garde technology and paying tribute to the traditional method of winemaking, designed so that the whole process of elaboration is done by gravity and without the use of pumps.
It was in 2009 when Alejandro Bulgheroni, linked through several projects with the agro-industrial sector since 1999, began his participation in Bodega Vistalba working together with Carlos in a common goal: “to elaborate world-renowned high-end wines, with marked identity and personality ”.

Viamonte was born as a family project with a determination for producing high-end quality wines. We are located in Vistalba in the Lujan de Cuyo appellation of Mendoza Argentina, positioned at the foothills of the Andes Mountains, surrounded by century old vineyards. Our winery is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, has a capacity of 500,000 liters of stainless-
steel, temperature-controlled tanks and 50,000 liters of French oak barrels. We are proud of our highly qualified team, that ensures optimal results during each step of the wine making process. We pride ourselves on producing well balanced and elegant wines, with great personality.

Located in the heart of the residential area of Chacras de Coria, the winery was built between 1902 and 1904, by an English contractor company.
It has 3 hectares of French grapes ... Although it is mostly "Malbec", having been one of the varieties brought by Pouget to Mendoza, we can find various clones of Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and a small proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, which makes it a unique vineyard in Mendoza.
Next to the winery, there is the house built entirely in adobe between 1892 and 1894.
Both constructions are in original condition, simply with the maintenance works that have been carried out during the last 100 years.
