I was brought up in a family of Italian, Catalan and Basque immigrants, who had left their home countries to look for luck in the New World. Very quickly the Furlotti family established a well known vinery in their new country, and it is therefore fair to say, I had no other choice: I had to follow the footsteps of her forefathers and start a life making wine myself.
Back in 2000 I converted the familiy’s Finca Adalgisa, a two hectare vineyard in the lovely village of Chacras de Coria, into Mendoza’s first rural hotel.
Since then I live in Mendoza, run a hotel, 2 wineries and now Altamira lodge .
