Going Beyond Terroir...
Magna Montis means “Big Mountain” in Latin, referring to The Andes, the largest Continental Range in the world and home of our wines.
In Argentina altitude is one of our trademarks, however, Magna Montis values the importance of each of the players in the Ecosystem as well, meaning that our interpretation of the place will give a unique style to our wines.
Our philosophy is to make the wines we consider that show a place in particular vintage, making a yearly challenge without loosing the joy.
We are fascinated with the fact that each year is a new opportunity to show different expression of the same place.
Uco Valley
Our wines are thought and made by our interpretation of the entire Ecosystem where we are based.
That means, many variables play its part and no matter how much or not they modify each other, they deffinitely do.
An Ecosystem is formed by the addition of every aspect that plays a roll at an specific enviroment.



SOILS
Mostly alluvial, river beds and patches of limestone. The main high quality areas or IG’s have in common that they are on colluvial soils, which means in general, good drainage and deep soils.
ALTITUDE
Uco Valley vineyards are planted between around 1.000 to 1.700 m.a.s.l. The contrast of high sun exposure during the days, dry winds and cool nights, results in a wide temperature range. This condition is highly appreciated to produce well balanced and refined wines.
CONTINENTAL CLIMATE
With The Andes acting as a protection from the rainfalls (200ml a year), dry hot summers and cold winters, being the base for the decisions we take in viticulture.
IRRIGATION & PRECISION
Melting water from the Andes, no population, no pollution, just straight from the Andes to our vines.
Due to the Irrigation control, we maximize the care of the water, a very limited resource.
LOW USE OF PESTICIDES
With the dry condition of the Uco valley and fresh winds coming from North, South and East, we ensure a natural healthy environment to avoid deseases
Some of the factors that define most our ecosystem are HIGH ALTITUDE, MOUNTAIN INFLUENCE, ALLUVIAL SOILS, PURITY OF THE WATER and CONTINENTAL CLIMATE.
We believe all these mentioned factors make the place we’ve chosen a suitable environment for high quality winemaking.



Winemaking & Philosophy
LOW INTERVENTION
NATURAL WINES is nowadays a very common term used in the wine industry, however sometimes in an irresponsible way, we´d rather use the term LOW INTERVENTION to describe the way we make wines, in a way to reflect the Environment around us. We are not utopical, we intervent as low as possible.MANUAL HARVEST
We believe a machine can´t look at each vine, each bunch and interpretate the care they need, human being do. Vines works for us 360, 24×7, they need our care. We also give importance to ”whole bunch” technic as well.SPONTANEOUS FERMENTATION
We only use native yeasts, and let them do the job when they believe they are ready.NO MAKEUP
We want our wines to be as naked as possible, expressing the place where they come from, we also add whole bunch in a big proportion couse we believe they play an important role when it comes to mirroring the site.PASSION
We have worked in big wineries, we consult wineries, so we know what it feels like rushing to obtain results to satisfy markets. Making wine is a lifestyle for us, we enjoy it, we respect the environment, we produce the wines we like. Selling is just a consecuence of being really us.Wines
