About the Winemaker
Santa Julia is a renowned winery in Mendoza, Argentina, named in honor of Julia Zuccardi, granddaughter of founder Alberto 'Tito' Zuccardi.
The story begins in 1968 with Tito Zuccardi, an engineer whose irrigation innovations brought Andean snowmelt to Mendoza's desert landscape. Today, three generations are joined by a passion for wine, with Julia leading sustainability initiatives.
Farming & Cellar: Over 400 hectares of certified organic vineyards make Santa Julia one of Argentina's leaders in organic farming since the late 1990s. Fair for Life certified, with community programs supporting workers and their families.
