Bodega Lagarde is one of Mendoza’s leading wineries with a history going back to 1897. Its surviving 1906 and 1930 plantings and heritage winemaking equipment, combined with modern technology, are a reminder of multi-generational ambitions. 3rd generation sisters Sofia and Lucila Pescaromona, committed advocates of sustainable and organic wine growing, are the driving force behind Bodega Lagarde.
