Combining Italian winemaking tradition with Argentine innovation, the winery focuses on expressing the purity of the grape and the character of the terroir, earning recognition for authenticity and its deep connection to Mendoza’s wine heritage.
Every bottle represents a meeting point between tradition and modern craftsmanship — a tribute to Argentina’s enduring winemaking legacy.
Vineyard & Production
The 1979 – Raíces Argentinas Cabernet Sauvignon is born in the celebrated wine region of Mendoza, Argentina, where natural conditions and traditional craftsmanship come together to produce wines of depth and character.
The Vineyard
Produced by the family-owned Salvador Patti winery, the grapes benefit from the distinctive terroir of Luján de Cuyo, an area known for elevated vineyards, alluvial soils, and a dry climate ideal for creating concentrated, full-bodied wines.
Across the winery’s estate — spanning about 280 hectares — vineyards are planted on sandy to stony soils and irrigated by the nearby Mendoza River.
A wide difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures encourages slow ripening, helping grapes develop richer flavors while preserving balance.
Situated roughly 600–700 meters above sea level, the area enjoys over 2,200 hours of sunshine, conditions that support optimal grape maturation and consistent quality.
The Production
Faithful to its traditional roots, the winery emphasizes the pure expression of the grape and terroir, maintaining a family-led approach to winemaking.
After harvest, the wine is aged for 12 months — about 30% in American oak barrels and 70% in stainless steel tanks with French oak chips — a method that enhances structure while preserving fruit character and elegance.
The result is a Cabernet Sauvignon shaped by both nature and precision: grapes carefully handled to retain their varietal identity and transformed through a process designed to balance power with refinement.
Food Pairing
The 1979 – Raíces Argentinas Cabernet Sauvignon pairs best with flavorful, well-seasoned dishes that can match the wine’s structure and depth.
Grilled Meats
Steak, lamb, or slow-roasted beef complement the wine’s firm tannins and rich body, allowing both the food and wine to shine without overpowering each other.
Hearty Pasta
Tomato-based sauces, lasagna, or pasta with mushrooms work beautifully, as the acidity in the wine balances the richness of these dishes.
Aged Cheeses
Cheddar, gouda, parmesan, and other matured cheeses highlight the wine’s complexity while softening its intensity on the palate.
Savory Dishes
Meals featuring herbs, roasted vegetables, or earthy flavors — such as mushroom dishes — enhance the Cabernet’s subtle spice notes.
Tip: Serving the wine slightly below room temperature (around 16–18°C) helps bring out its aromas and overall balance.

Serve at the Right Temperature
For optimal expression, serve between 16–18°C. Slightly cooling the wine preserves its balance and keeps the alcohol from overpowering the fruit and structure.
Choose the Proper Glassware

Let It Breathe

Store with Care
Keep bottles lying horizontally in a cool, dark place with minimal temperature changes to maintain quality over time.
