Bodega Bressia
Luján de Cuyo • Signature Wines • Mendoza
"The culmination of detail: A boutique winery where Agrelo's terroir merges with Walter Bressia's humanist and artisanal vision."
01. The Legacy Behind a Name
Bodega Bressia is not just a production house; it's Walter Bressia's statement of principles, an iconic figure in South American enology and former president of Bodegas de Argentina. After decades leading large-scale projects, he founded this boutique winery in 2003 to focus on crafting "wines with soul."
Within our catalog of Argentine wines, Bressia stands out for its focus on micro-vinification. Located in Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo, the winery operates under the region's first Controlled Denomination of Origin (D.O.C.), ensuring quality standards that are a benchmark for the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV).
02. The Terroir of Agrelo and the Uco Valley
The Blending Philosophy
Unlike the purely varietal trend, Bressia is a master of the blend. His wines seek complexity through the integration of French and American oak, achieving historic scores in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. Explore our collection of cellar-worthy wines to find these oenological gems.
High-Altitude Purity
With grapes from selected vineyards in the Uco Valley, Bressia develops its Sylvestra line. These wines move away from oak to showcase the primary freshness of Malbec and Sauvignon Blanc, a vision internationally promoted by Wines of Argentina.

Sommelier's Frequently Asked Questions
What is the aging potential of Bressia red wines?
Thanks to their meticulous acidic balance and concentration of noble tannins, labels such as Profundo or Conjuro have an aging potential of 10 to 15 years under optimal cellar conditions (14°C - 16°C).
What food pairing is recommended for the Sylvestra line?
Being fruity and unoaked wines, Sylvestra Malbec is ideal for lean meats, pasta with red sauces, or semi-hard cheese boards. At LA CAVA SHOP, we suggest serving them at a temperature of 15°C to highlight their vitality.
