Altar Uco is the latest endeavor from beloved winemaker Juan Pablo Michelini. This project offers a fresh perspective on what the Uco Valley means in the greater conversation on South American wine and he's aiming to produce “quiet wines” which require as little human intervention as possible.

Founded in 1995 by a consortium of prominent Italian winemakers, including Alberto Antonini of Antinori and Antonio Morescalchi, Altos Las Hormigas continues to evolve as a winery, but their focus on producing terroir-driven Malbec remains unchanged.
