Piattelli Vineyards Cafayate
High in the Calchaquí Valley, Piattelli Vineyards Cafayate stands as an architectural and oenological gem, where the extreme terroir—marked by salinity, altitude, and calcareous soils—gives rise to vibrant and elegant wines.
Located at 1,700 meters (5,600 feet) above sea level, Piattelli Vineyards Cafayate is one of the highest-altitude wine regions in the world. Set in northern Argentina, its desert climate and dramatic temperature swings result in grapes with thicker skins, deep concentration, and distinctive acidity that define these high-altitude wines.
Founded in 2013, the winery merges gravity-fed vinification techniques with innovative architectural design to craft expressive varietals and blends. The calcareous soils, limited natural irrigation, and high solar radiation contribute to aromatic wines such as Torrontés, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tannat, and its signature Arlene Series blends.
Piattelli follows a low-intervention winemaking philosophy: “we let the grapes speak for themselves.” Combined with its unique altitude and microclimate, this approach has earned the winery a strong reputation in Salta and across Argentina.
