Finca Adalgisa
Summary
Finca Adalgisa is located in the Chacras de Coria sub region of Lujan de Cuyo in Mendoza, Argentina. The estate goes back three generations within the Furlotti family when they planted 0.85 hectares of primarily Malbec in 1916.
Today, fourth generation Gabriela Furlotti runs Finca Adalgisa. She built an eleven room boutique hotel in 2000 on the property surrounding the vineyard, and has converted the farming practices to non-certified organic. It’s a beautiful property with the Mendoza city limits, but Gabriela produces only one wine which is made with the help of beloved winemaker Carmelo Patti. Carmelo is know to focus on balance and terroir. He is one of the few Argentine vignerons to bottle age before release. Adalgisa produces less than 500 cases per year, and they believe that their wine is one of the most elegant, Bordelaise expressions of Malbec ever encountered.
