With 90 years on the wine business around the world, the Bianchi family has been a pioneer in the Argentine wine development. Don Valentín Bianchi, the founder of the winery, was born in 1887 in Fasano, Italy, where he was raised until his departure to Argentina in 1910. In 1928, Don Valentín realized his ambition when he set up his own fine wine-producing establishment called “El Chiche Winery”. The Vineyards and Winery are located in San Rafael District, 240 km/ 150 miles south of Mendoza City, in the province of Mendoza. The company owns 350 hectares/865 acres of vineyards. Its storage capacity reaches the 11,5 million liters of wine, between San Rafael and Uco Valley. Bodegas Bianchi entered a period of steady growth when the second generation came into the company to work on the specific task of creating new wines and showing them to the world. Today, the wine is exported to more than 40 countries around the world. Some of the most recognizable wines are Enzo Bianchi, IV Generación (new release), Particular Bianchi, Famiglia Bianchi, Don Valentín Lacrado, Bianchi Extra Brut, New Age and also L10 which is a brand co-created with Leo Messi. Nowadays, the fourth generation of the Bianchi family is the heir to the founder’s legacy to the art of creating wines. An art that grows and is enriched from generation to generation.
Today, after 90 years, and over 4 generations, the Bianchi Family keeps intact the values and the historical legacy of the family, represented in a line of unique wines that highlight the best particularities of the different vineyards that the family owns in San Rafael and the Uco Valley.
