Winemakers
Our dream of having a range of limited lots representing the ultimate expression of each terroir would not have come true had it not been for our team's passion, enthusiasm and commitment.
"Without a doubt, this is the project I have been yearning for my entire professional life. Being able to embark on an imaginary journey across Argentina's wine regions, across the family's vineyards, and summarise it in a range of wines can truly give meaning to all the work that gets epitomised in a bottle of wine"
CHIEF WINEMAKER
Daniel Pi, acclaimed in 2017 as best Argentinian winemaker by Tim Atkin, one of the most prestigious Masters of Wine in the world, studied Winemaking at Don Bosco School of Oenology. Over the years, Daniel has completed many specialist courses and training programmes in multiple winemaking regions, especially in Europe and the USA.
His vast experience has taken him to be a speaker at multiple conferences around the world, in addition to receiving annual invitations to participate as a judging panel member at the most prestigious national and international wine awards.
Daniel's work includes traditional and innovative practices, the result of having developed vast knowledge about the different family-owned terroirs along Argentina and having properly understood the specific features of each area, its' soil and climate. His passion for exploration has led him to grow vines in a vast number of regions in the country were to grow vines. Some of these regions, at first glance, seemed unimaginable vinegrowing locations in Argentina. Such is the case of Chapadmalal, merely 6 km from the Atlantic coast, where Daniel successfully crafted the country's first wines of oceanic influence.
Over the years, Daniel has received multiple awards for his wines. On many occasions, some of them have achieved more than 95 points from prestigious critics and specialised magazines, such as Tim Atkin, James Suckling, Decanter, and International Wine Challenge, among others.

CHIEF WINEGROWER
Marcelo Belmonte graduated from the School of Agricultural Sciences of the National University of Cuyo, Mendoza. He holds a Master of Science in Horticulture and Agronomy with Viticulture Specialisation from the University of California Davis, in addition to being a member of the Society for Oenology and Viticulture, the American Society of Agricultural Engineers and the Soil Science Society of America.
Since 2004, Marcelo has been leading Trapiche's team of agronomists, a role where he has been appraised for introducing highly innovative styles and techniques both for the training and the vineyard row orientation systems. Soil mapping and trials have also been implemented under his guidance in order to quantify the qualitative impact of the different vineyard practices on the grapes.
Joined by Daniel Pi, Marcelo has taken the leading role of meticulously studying and selecting the outstanding blocks of the best Family-owned estates along Argentina that will ultimately yield their wine collection. Since 2016, Marcelo has also conducted countless studies using state-of-the-art technology on Finca El Tomillo, an estate acquired exclusively by the Family for the purpose of designing a vineyard that, according to the experts' opinion, has the potential for becoming Argentina's most emblematic vineyard.
"Having the opportunity to grow a vineyard in Gualtallary will enable us to deliver extraordinary wines which will be a part of the Family's legacy for generations to come. This is truly an honour"
