WELCOME TO ALTOS LAS HORMIGAS

Listening to nature is working with it

authentic wines

Mendoza is a mountain region; its wines should show where they come from. Modern fruit bombs are but a caricature of Mendoza Terroir, made to please the wine beginner and the casual consumer, and not making the effort to find a balance that respects origin. We want the freshness of the mountains to shine in our wines, and at the same time we want the different fruit characters of the various sites, to show the sunny climate that begot them.

The team

Our vision has always been to create a melting pot of cultures, experience, and insight- each member contributing towards one unwavering goal: to create authentic wines that speak of their origin. Combine the strong wine cultures of Italy, Argentina, and Chile, then add in a Terroir PhD, worldwide winemaking experience, local viticulture, and tie it all together with a strong personal bond, and we firmly believe the final result cannot be anything less than exciting.

Attilio Pagli

Winemaker
Attilio Pagli is one of Italy’s most respected winemakers and one of Altos’ most passionate. He first arrived in Mendoza to create a Sangiovese similar to those he was known for in Italy, but quickly learned that Mendoza had no intention of being Tuscany. Instead, he fell in love with the old vines of Malbec. He believes that the personality of terroir is what really inspires his commitment to winemaking.
