Bodega Cavagnaro

Bodega Cavagnaro is a family boutique winery in Coquimbito, Maipú, specialized in limited-series Malbec. The family has been tied to this area since 1889, when Don Ángel Cavagnaro arrived from Genoa, planted his first vineyards and built his house in Coquimbito. Four generations later, the property remains in the family's hands.

Wines and products

The offering centers on two Malbecs: the Cavagnaro Malbec and the Reserva Cavagnaro Malbec, both made with grapes from the estate vineyard in Coquimbito, hand-harvested. The first spent nine months in contact with French oak staves. The Reserva is aged in medium-toasted French oak barrels and rests longer in bottle. The wine is made in a rented winery, under the supervision of Julián Cavagnaro. He oversees the process from vineyard management through bottling, with oenological advice from professionals in Mendoza. Besides wine, they sell natural black olives, an artisanal product made by the family.

The place

The estate has vineyards, olive trees and fruit trees. On the property there is an accommodation with a pool that is offered as lodging, and guests mention in their reviews that they can buy the house wines. It is a quiet place, made for those looking for something small and family-run rather than a winery with large visitor numbers.

Location and practical information

It is on Monte Caseros street, in Coquimbito, one of the oldest wine-growing areas in Maipú. To buy wines or ask about a visit, it is best to message in advance on WhatsApp, the channel the winery lists on its website for requesting quotes. Opening hours are not listed in the sources, so it is best to arrange them beforehand.
