Bodega Noemía
"The purest, most ancient and mystical expression of Malbec: a biodynamic treasure in the heart of the Río Negro Valley."

Patagonian Identity and Legacy
Bodega Noemía represents the pinnacle of enological elegance in the Southern Hemisphere. Founded by Countess Noemí Marone Cinzano and winemaker Hans Vinding-Diers, the winery protects a unique viticultural heritage: "franc de pied" Malbec vineyards originally planted in 1932, survivors of phylloxera and the passage of time.
Located in Mainqué, within our selection of Argentine wines, the winery operates under a philosophy of minimal intervention. Here, biodiversity is managed through biodynamic principles certified by Demeter International, ensuring that each bottle is a living organism that breathes the character of the Río Negro Valley.
The Terroir of Mainqué and Río Negro
The Río Negro Valley stands out for its wide thermal amplitude and constant winds, factors that allow for slow maturation and exceptional grape health, according to technical reports from the National Institute of Viticulture (INV). The alluvial soils with the presence of silt, sand, and calcareous deposits give these Patagonian wines a vertical freshness and minerality that has been acclaimed in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.
