Martino 5 W's

Who: Martino is owned primarily by Hugo Martino, an industrialist from Buenos Aires. He owns the successful company Media Strategy. The winemaker is Hector Durigutti who was a founding winemaker for Alto Las Hormigas. The vineyard manager is Mauricio Perez Parodi, the original General Manager of Alto Las Hormigas.

What: Fincas Don Martino specializes in Old-Vine Malbec from their estate vineyard, Viña Violeta, located in Agrelo, Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina. The vineyard is 18.5 acres in size and was planted in 1926. Production size is always limited to the 50,000 bottles produced from this single vineyard. There is a Martino and a Martino Reserve.

When: The group's first vintage was 2002 for release under the Martino brand. Fortunately, this was the best vintage in decades and a perfect moment to start the company. 2003 is even more concentrated and 2004 and 2005 vintages look equally promising.

Where: We mentioned the location of vineyard.

How: Fincas Don Martino is dedicated to producing only high quality wines on a limited volume basis. Their goal is consistently producing great Malbec year after year from their single estate vineyard.
