Bodega Calle is a small-lot, gravity-flow, red wine making studio located in the prized viticultural area of Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina
Both a house and winery, Alberti 154 is the street address for this tiny, off the beaten path, well-kept secret. Ca' de Calle is Spanish for "House of Calle," named in honor of the winery founder, the late Ms. Elvira Calle, a famous businesswoman who owned the most important newspaper in Mendoza and ended her life as a prominent philanthropist.
The winery concentrates on varietal wines and premium red blends sourced from the viticultural areas where each varietal in question grows best.
All wines are made with the use of gravity and are never pumped to deliver the grapes to the fermentation tank. This process, termed "gravity flow winemaking," allows Bodega Calle wines to be notably softer and less bitter than their conventionally pumped peers.
