San Rafael Oasis.
The Mendoza Province has three main regions: the Andes range, the desserts and the cultivated plains, irrigated by the Diamante and Atuel rivers, which come from the high peaks of the Andes Mountains.
Within this fertile valley, of alluvial soils, Iaccarini Winery is situated: 50 OR 25 hectares located in El Ulsillal, Las Paredes District, to the Northwest side of San Rafael.
The estate is divided in three distinct areas, depending on the age of the vines, which defines the different varieties of its wines. The vines between 5 to 25 years old are grown by the traditional vertical trellis method, protected by a hail resistant net, in a loamy sandy soil, growing at an average altitude of 800 meters above sea level.
The identity of these wines is defined by the natural surroundings where the grape grows. In a region with scarce rains and low levels of humidity, seasoned winters, hot summers and good sunlight, which enables a full growth of the grapes and an excellent tipicity, which is the pride of the region.
For the quality of its wines and worldwide recognition San Rafael region became a D.O.C (Controlled Origin Denomination, D.O.C. in Spanish). Making from San Rafael a unique place in the world.
