Born from a shared dream among a group of childhood friends, amidst the vineyards of Mendoza, Argentina, the four producers of Alma 4, all met when they were 17 years old. Two years later, together in 1998, they made 300 bottles of sparkling wines. Today, they are producing sparkling wines in the Uco Valley at altitudes of 4,000-5,000 ft in the Andes. Crafted in the traditional method, every bottle displays the undeniable passion that flows through the heart of the Argentinian wine industry.
