MIAMI, FL, USA, March 13, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Great Wine Capitals Network distinguished Antigal Winery & Estates with a prestigious honor in its annual Global Best of Wine Tourism Awards 2022. Great Wine Capitals is a network of major global cities in both northern and southern hemispheres which share a key economic and cultural asset: their internationally renowned wine regions.— Alessandra Cartoni, CEO
Antigal Winery participated for the first time in the category “Architecture and Landscape” earning the silver distinction for the Mendoza winery. Judges in this category assess the architectural merits of a facility against the background of how the architecture and panorama promote the winery as well as renovations and additions to improve the impact for the visitor and the environment.
“Mendoza province is one of ten regions that are part of the global network of the Great Wine Capitals, and we are very proud to be recognized with this award,” says Alessandra Cartoni, Chief Executive Officer. Antigal winery was rebuilt on the site of an historic winery in Russell, Maipu, Mendoza, Argentina whose origin dates back to 1897. While respecting the original historic structure, the winery completed a refurbishment in early 2000 and continuously upgrades its facilities and programs. Antigal winery has achieved the very best in high-tech functionality within the structure of an historically important landmark in the region improving visitor experience and impact on the environment. The historic building houses a state-of-the-art facility whose gravity-flow platform system allows for a largely “hands off” approach to winemaking eliminating the need for forceful pumps and crushers,” she continued. According to Great Wine Capitals, the motivation behind the Best of Wine Tourism awards is to benefit the whole global wine industry by raising wine tourism standards on an ongoing basis. A Best of Wine Tourism award is a mark of genuine top quality, innovation, a range of services or an experience that has met their aspirational requirements.

ABOUT ANTIGAL
Antigal Winery & Estates is a family-owned vineyard-based company and one of the oldest wineries in Argentina. Founded in 1897, in the first wine-growing area of Mendoza at the Andes foothills, its estate mountain vineyards drive balanced flavor development and livelier, more intense wines. With high altitude vineyards and poor, rocky soils, the grape vines work harder and produce more complex flavors that enhance the best expression of the fruit. Antigal’s fine wine portfolio has earned a reputation worldwide for the quality of its wines that express the essence of Mendoza’s terroir. Its unique packaging includes a distinctive number 1 hand-carved from a barrel stave. Antigal’s signature UNO wines celebrate inspiration and connecting with others. Vineyard ownership and sustainable practices remain key to consistent quality and artisan winemaking underscores a faithful commitment to making wines of character and integrity.
Antigal wines are imported by Cork Alliance, Miami Florida.
