REGION: Valle de Uco

Agustín Lopez, Mauricio Castro, Marcela Manini and Sebastian Zuccardi first met at the Liceo Agrícola & Enológico School in Mendoza. Over 20 years later, they are still making wine together and produce sparkling cuvees from parcels across the Uco Valley ranging from 1300-1550m above sea level.

Founded by two friends, Federico Isgró and Santiago Bernasconi, BIRA is a project to watch. Their Italian heritage inspired them to embark on an adventure into Argentina's viticultural past and ultimately led them to establish their Sangiovese-focused project, BIRA, in 2017 in the Uco Valley.
