Altos Las Hormigas was founded in 1995 by Alberto Antonini, renowned Italian winemaker, and Antonio Morescalchi, moved by the potential of Malbec. The team is completed by Atilio Pagli, the Chilean Pedro Parra, soil specialist, and Fede Gambetta, today in charge of the day to day. The incessant fight against ants in organic vineyards gives rise to the name.

José Zuccardi Malbec is sourced from Paraje Altamira and contains a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon from Gualtallary. Each variety is naturally fermented in concrete vats, using wild yeasts, and is then aged in foudres and second-use barrels for 24 months.

Lush Bordeaux blend of Cabernet, Merlot and Malbec, bursting with raspberry and currant flavors that pick up complexity with hints of boysenberry, mineral and violets. Continue to evolve in the glass and on the palate.

Deep red color with blue tones, with good tears and color. Of great aromatic richness, noticing red fruits, ripe plums, cherries, and cherries, in balance with notes of chocolate and vanilla. Velvety and great structure, with sweet and ripe tannins. Traditional vinification with fermentation of 20 days between 21 and 26ºC, including maceration. Malolactic fermentation with indigenous strains. Aging: 12 months in French oak barrels of first use.

There's better integration of the oak and better balance, harmony and elegance in the 2021 Privada Family Blend. It was produced with 40% Malbec and 30% each Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from vineyards in Luján de Cuyo. It feels very integrated, with each variety adding aromas and flavors and coming through as complex and powerful. This has to be one of the finest vintages for this bottling. Maybe they used less new barrels... 220,000 bottles produced.

Boasting only 9% ABV and zero sugar, this is a clean, lighthearted, "better-for-you" wine with aromas of grapefruit and papaya. White pear, wet rock, and honeysuckle add character.

Intense and bright yellow colored wine with gold edges. On the nose, offers a delicate bouquet, displaying notes of roses and orange blossoms. Vanilla aromas provided by its contact with oak are also perceived. On the mouth, there’s an intense and balanced acidity. Good freshness with very pleasant citric notes.
