“For generations, the Bianchetti family has been
growing grapes in Valle de Uco. They have always
known how good the region is for wine grapes.
And so do others… the Bianchetti family has
been selling their grapes to notable wineries for
decades. Maybe this is how the word got out that
this valley is gold?
In the early 20th century, Isidro Ernesto
Bianchetti immigrated to Argentina from Italy,
where he and his father worked on the land with
castrated bulls called oxen, or bueyes in Spanish
(there was no machinery back then). Working
hard, saving money, buying land in Valle de Uco,
and planting vineyards are what he did with all his
spare time and money.” Today they call their wines: Bueyes Wines.
