SUMMARY
Press Kit 2017_ All rights reserved ® Bodega Zunino _ 2
The Marco Zunino wine estate is the result of the meeting of 2 French
men in Argentina. Marc Zunino and Ronan Guevel met in Buenos Aires in
2009 and their passion for wine and complimentary vision and skills were
at the origin of their decision to buy vineyards and build a winery in San
Rafael, in the province of Mendoza.
The team was then enriched with the arrival of Yann-Gael Falc’hun in
2012 and Svetlana Labourdette-Kashtanova in 2015.

1 : : OUR HISTORY
THE VINEYARD AT THE FOOTHILL OF THE ANDES _
200 kilometers from the district capital, in the South of the region of
Mendoza, lies the town of San Rafael, an oasis surrounded by large canyons
and crossed by two rivers, Diamante and Atuel, vital for agriculture and
tourism in the region.
The arid climate, the rugged landscape and vegetation, as well as the plane
trees along the country roads and weeping willows bordering its rivers are
reminiscent of the midi region in the South of France.
The thirty-hectare vineyard boasts an exceptional site and an idyllic regional
climate for wine producing. The low rainfall (300 mm per year), the altitude
(670m) and high temperature variations associated with the diversity and
quality of San Rafael’s terroir offer the ideal setting for a truly exceptional
quality of grape.
The wine industry is one of the remaining legacies of the presence of a
French colony in the region. Major wineries have since developed in the area
(Bianchi, Jean Rivier, and more recently Goyenechea, Algodon Wine Estates)
and finally Bodega Marco ZUNINO.

THE BEST OF NEW WORLD CLIMATE WITH FRENCH KNOW HOW!
The Argentine Terroir offers incomparable quality of grapes. The climate, the
diversity of soils and natural water resources allow each wine to obtain the
purest of its varietal expression. Thanks to our latest generation
equipment, we make a double selection of the grape and whole grains
are put into tanks for a carbonic fermentation. We are looking for the purest
extraction of product and we also do a pre-cold maceration (10 ° C), then
a 12 days fermentation at a controlled temperature of 22 °C.
The malolactic fermentation is spontaneous and partial, and we deliberately
keep a few grams of malic acid for freshness on the palate.
