Argentine Wines in Switzerland: Mylena and Familia Furlotti
She Sorted the Grapes Herself
- She wasn’t looking for a supplier. She was looking for something with identity.
- Three years in which we kept doing what we always do: harvests, decisions, time.
- She understood the wines because she understood where they came from.
Three years ago, Mylena left Switzerland looking for Argentine wines in Switzerland — wines with a real place behind them, and a real story. She didn’t know that search would change the way we bring our wines to the world.
She arrived at Finca Adalgisa, our wine hotel in Chacras de Coria, and stayed for weeks. Not as a visitor. She went to the winery in Luján de Cuyo every day, sorted Malbec grapes with our Familia Furlotti family, tasted through the cellar, asked questions, and watched every step of the process.
“She understood the wines because she understood where they came from.”
She wasn’t looking for a supplier. She was looking for something with identity. When she found it, she knew she wanted to bring it to Switzerland. But first, she had to build her own project.
We Waited Three Years
Three years in which Mylena built something solid from scratch — with commitment and with care. Three years in which we kept doing what we always do: harvests, decisions, time. No rush.
During those weeks at the finca, her understanding deepened — of the valley, of the vineyard, of the women who built this place, of a century of winemaking in Mendoza that shapes every bottle we make.
Argentine Wines in Switzerland — Now a Reality
Today, our wines are in Switzerland. The Malbec from Lunlunta, the one from Paraje Altamira, the Malbec Blend, the Semillón, the Blanco de Verano. The same bottles Mylena sorted grape by grape in 2023.
“She wasn’t looking for a supplier. She was looking for something with identity.”
They carry more than flavor. They carry the story of the land they come from, and the patience of someone who waited for the right moment to share them.
Mylena chose our wines to begin her own path as an importer. She did it carefully, with respect for the product and its origin.
If you’re in Switzerland, you can find our wines at www.myvineria.ch. If you’ve visited Adalgisa and want to taste again what you had here — now you can.
Three years were worth it.
