Almacita, produced under the Alma 4 label, is a boutique sparkling wine from Mendoza’s Uco Valley. The brand is owned and operated by its four founders—Agustín Lopez, Mauricio Castro, Marcela Manini and Sebastián Zuccardi—who also form the winemaking team. Grapes come from several vineyards planted around 2005 at elevations near 4,000 feet, with farming managed according to certified sustainable practices. The wines reflect a focused, founder-led approach to sparkling production in a high-altitude Andean setting.
