Getting there

History

Founded in 1996

Masi Tupungato is the Argentine wine project of Masi, the Valpolicella winery founded in Italy in 1773, established in Mendoza in 1996 after acquiring land in the La Arboleda district of Tupungato, Valle de Uco. Its 140 hectares of organically farmed vineyards, at an altitude of roughly 950 to 1050 metres, pair Venetian grapes such as Corvina and Pinot Grigio with signature Argentine varieties, Malbec and Torrontés. The estate houses South America's only appassimento drying loft, where grapes rest on cane racks following Masi's traditional Veneto method, along with a cellar of 600-litre Veronese oak vats and a botanical garden preserving native flora and fauna. A visit moves through the vineyards, the appassimento room, the vinification cellar and the barrel deposit, closing with a tasting of three estate wines in one of two equipped tasting rooms, with an optional cheese pairing. Tours run Monday to Friday at fixed times; weekend visits are by appointment only.
