the objective of placing the argentine wines in the level of the best
wines of the world. Eager for History, Nicolas Catena chose a Maya
pyramid as the most advanced example of Pre-Columbian America.

in 1901 by Leoncio Arizu, Luigi Bosca, has a long history in the wine
industry and it is one of the few wineries that are, at present, still
owned by its creators. Its international expansion has been able to
consolidate its prestige based on the experience gained through the
years, the constant and homogeneous quality of their wines, and a
permanent search for excellence through innovation, the dynamism and
advanced technology. After being introduced to their wines and tasting
them, we go back to the hotel.
