Passion for wine
History
A16 Winery was established as a winemaking project in 2007 by Gerardo Cartellone, who decided to start his winery following the steps of his ancestors. It all began with his Sicilian great-grandfather, who made his wines back then. Then followed his grandfather, who migrated to Argentina and built some of the great wineries in the province. Later, his father continued to work in the wine industry. Gerardo today keeps his heritage and the family’s love for wine alive.

We are always looking for constant innovation, growth, care for quality and the artisan spirit of our wines.

Filosophy
We are a boutique family winery that puts together our passions: the love of art and viticulture. We believe that each of our bottles tells a unique story. A story that is completed when you uncork it. Our commitment is to offer more than just wine; we wish to create special moments in life inviting them to reconnect themselves with the love and dedication we pour into everything we do.
Values
We deeply value the effort and passion of our team, recognizing that each bottle of wine is the result of a joint effort.
Sustainability
Advanced drip irrigation techniques permit an efficient and careful irrigation, minimizing waste of water and ensuring that every drop is used to its full potential.
Our philosophy focuses on organic agriculture, avoiding the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, protecting the environment and improving the quality of our grapes and wines.
Commitment
Every detail is meticulously taken care of to ensure the excellence of our wines during the production process. From the selection of the best grapes to the recognition of the valuable work of our human resources, at A16 we believe that quality is born from respect and dedication.
Certifications and participations
As winemakers, we aim to highlight our beverage’s cultural value and its relevant role as part of our national identity.
A16 is Vegan certified. Each year, the Vegan Argentina association renews our certification after performing an exhaustive analysis of each of our wines. They are produced without any animal products, such as eggs or fish, among others.
All our production processes are certified and endorsed by INV, ensuring that all our wines are suitable for consumption.
We are proud to be an associate winery of WofA and part of one of the most important wine regions in the country: Mendoza. We work jointly with WofA towards the promotion and consolidation of Argentina’s winemaking industry abroad under the Vino Argentino brand.
