Founded in 2010 in Mendoza’s high-altitude Uco Valley, Alpasiόn farms vineyards at 1,200–1,500 metres using sustainable organic practices, with certification pending. The winery is privately owned by a partnership of wine-loving friends and investors, whose fingerprints and signatures appear on the labels. Its wines are made under the direction of winemaker Karim Mussi, with Alpasiόn Grand Malbec as the flagship, representing about 80% of production.
