What you will do

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 ”.

During the 1940s, our grandfather, an Italian immigrant, owned great extensions of vineyards and olives and a big winery in Vistalba.
At the beginning of the 21st century, we, part of his descendants, the Devalle Gieco family, follow the tradition implanting new vines and growing high quality wines in a 16 hectare parcel of land inherited from him.
Bodega Gieco is a small family winery owned and managed by the Devalle-Gieco family from Mendoza, Argentina.
Since 2007, we have been producing high quality grapes for internationally esteemed wineries from Mendoza. In 2013, we realized our family dream when we started making our own wine.

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.
