The story behind
The Wine
When we discovered that Lionel Messi had launched his own wine collection, the L10, we knew we had to be part of it. Crafted in his native Argentina, the wines are every bit as exceptional as the man himself—elegant, expressive, and full of character. The L10 range has quickly become a standout favourite among our customers, and it’s easy to see why.

Exploring the
Vineyard
Born in Fasano, Italy, in 1887, Don Valentín Bianchi emigrated to Argentina with his family in 1910. Just 18 years later, he purchased a small vineyard in Mendoza and founded what would become the renowned Bodegas Valentín Bianchi. Today, the winery continues to honour his legacy by preserving a deep passion for winemaking while embracing innovation and a spirit of exploration.
Located in the heart of Mendoza—Argentina’s most celebrated wine region, known for its high-altitude vineyards and world-class Malbec—Bodegas Valentín Bianchi combines traditional winemaking values with modern techniques. Their approach is rooted in a profound respect for nature, guided by best practices in viticulture and oenology to produce wines of exceptional character and quality.
