Nieto Senetiner has grown to become one of the leading stars of Mendoza. Although the vineyards and winery were founded by Italian immigrants and date back to 1888, they were acquired by the Nieto and Senetiner families in 1969.Nieto has some 400 hectares of vineyards in virtually all of the best sub-districts of Mendoza from which it produces classic and modern wines characterised by the uniquely appealing balance of power and finesse that defines the best wines of the region. The top wines come from very old vineyards in the famed sub-district of Agrelo, and are fully deserving of their status.
Nieto Senetiner is a member of the Bodegas de Argentina Sustainability Commission which has collaboratively developed a sustainability protocol, the Protocolo de Autoevaluación de Sustentabilidad Vitivinícola, specifically adapted for Argentinian winemaking from the California Code of Sustainable Winegrowing Workbook. This provides educational and awareness tools to increase the application of sustainable practices in vineyards and wineries and consists of a self-evaluation of their vineyards - soils, canopy management, irrigation, study of climatic variables, etc. - to determine practices that can be improved upon.
