Analytical Data:

Alcohol: 14.5% | Residual Sugar: 2.90 g/l | Acidity: 5.30 g/l | pH: 3.65

Vineyard:

The grapes for L10 come both from our family vineyards as well as from associated producers, all of these in San Rafael, Mendoza. Our own vineyards Finca Doña, Elsa, and Finca Asti, both of these at an approximate altitude of 750 m.a.sl. They have poor, alluvial-origin soils, with a loamy-sandy texture and some calcareous sediments which provide minerality notes to the wine.

The Wine:

Born in Fasano, Italy, in 1887, Don Valentín emigrated with his family to Argentina in 1910. In 1928 he bought a small vineyard and gave birth to Bodegas Valentin Bianchi. As part of the legacy, they seek to keep alive the passion for wine and constantly exploring new horizons. Their guiding principles in winemaking are to respect nature and the best viticultural and oenological practices.

Sporting Connection: 

Lionel Messi is arguably the best-known football player in the world and regarded by many as one of the most skilful of all time.
