Winery Notes: The Trivento portfolio of fine wines was founded in 1996 and is in the Mendoza Wine region. The Mendoza wine region sits in central-western Argentina, right along the eastern foothills of the Andes Mountains near the border of Chile. Trivento is named for the three winds that influence its vineyards in Mendoza, Argentina: the Polar, a cold wind from the south; the Zonda, a warming western wind sweeping down off of the Andes; and the Sudestada, or southeast blow, which brings freshness from the Atlantic and Río Plata estuary to the vineyards.
