ITALIAN INHERITANCE EXPRESSED IN
FOUR GENERATIONS OF PASSIONATE WINE MAKERS.
1868 ÁNGEL FURLOTTI,
KING OF THE VINEYARDS
Ángel Furlotti was born in Fontanellato, in Parma, Italy, and emigrated to Argentina as a young man in 1888. He had great knowledge of soils and used his skills as a planter and viticulturist to create top quality vineyards across the Mendoza region. He was a pioneer who understood the complexity and importance of the terroir. He knew that the soil itself and how the plants were tended were fundamental to a vineyard. He chose places like Agrelo, Altamira, Lunlunta and Vistalba. He was known as the “king of the vineyards.”
1914 BODEGA FURLOTTI
IS FOUNDED
Ángel Furlotti bought his first winery in Maipú and began producing wine with his sons. The company became very successful and by the Sixties had ten estates with 2,015 hectares of vines. They also grew olives, producing olive oil from 58,000 trees. The winery and bottling plant had a capacity of almost 40 million litres
1968 MAINTAINING
THE TRADITION
Gabriela Furlotti was born exactly 100 years after her great grandfather Ángel, and took up the family tradition with passion, conviction and determination. Like her forefathers, she believes that the best wine can only be made from the best grapes, and preferably from grapes grown in old vineyards. She rescued a small, century-old vineyard from the advancing urbanisation of the area and was one of the first people to open a rural hotel in Mendoza: transforming the estate where she grew up in Chacras de Coria into a warm and friendly hotel in the middle of a vineyard: this is the Finca Adalgisa.
2014 THE RETURN OF
THE BODEGA FURLOTTI.
Exactly 100 years after her great-grandfather bought his first winery, Gabriela Furlotti harvested her first grapes for the Familia Furlotti, uniting past and present in the belief that wine is an art that begins in the vineyard. Today, the Furlottis preserve the tradition of getting the best out of the old vines to produce wines that reflect the fundamental character of the soil and the grapes. Bodega Furlotti refines wines from the grapes from its estates in Lunlunta and Altamira in its own winery.
