Salentein
In the majestic heart of the Uco Valley, where the Andes stand watch like ancient guardians, the winery Salentein rises, a jewel of Argentine winemaking. Founded with a clear vision to elevate Argentine wine to international standards, Salentein has become a beacon of elegance and quality in the Mendoza region. Here, at an altitude that challenges the limits of traditional viticulture, the vines thrive in a unique terroir, producing wines that are authentic expressions of the purest and most unspoiled Argentina.
The Uco Valley, with its cool climate and extreme altitudes, is the ideal stage for Malbec, the country's flagship grape, and for the refined Chardonnay. Salentein, with a production philosophy that combines innovation and respect for nature, cultivates these varieties with meticulous care, producing wines that express a surprising complexity and depth. Each bottle is a tribute to the land, a journey through the intense aromas and vibrant flavors that only these lands can offer.
Among the main labels, Numina and Primus Malbec stand out for their impeccable structure and their ability to tell stories of passion and dedication. Numina, a masterfully orchestrated blend, enchants with its notes of ripe fruit and spices, while Primus Malbec, powerful and seductive, opens with aromas of blackberry and chocolate, supported by velvety tannins and extraordinary persistence.
We invite wine lovers to discover on Vino45 the refined creations of Salentein: an invitation to be carried away by the magic of a region that, with its wines, continues to enchant and surprise the whole world.

THE COMPANY
At the foot of the Andes chain, in the wine-growing area of the Uco Valley, stands the Argentine wine company Salentein, born with a precise objective: to produce top-class wines linked to the territory of origin. The modern cellar was designed based on two main concepts: aesthetics and functionality.
The almost 50 hectares of rows cultivated by the Salentein winery are located in the Uco Valley, Mendoza, where the vines benefit from the soils consisting mainly of sand and silt, the high altitudes that reach 1,700 meters above sea level and the dry climate characterized by notable temperature variations between day and night. In this pedoclimatic context the estate applies sustainable viticulture in the cultivation of the Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc vines.
The Salentein winery is the creator of a vast production based on Malbec, an emblematic vine of the Mendoza area, alongside numerous other fine labels from international grapes. The main selections proposed by the bodega are: 'Numina', a line that expresses the spirit of the area where the estate was founded, 'Single Vineyard', from single plots located in the highest area of the Uco Valley, and 'Primus', a range iconic produced exclusively in the best vintages. In general, the wines of Salentein manage to combine the maturity due to the sunny climate of Mendoza, the slender freshness given by the high altitudes of the area and the strong aromatic fragrance that derives from the important temperature variations.
