Why April 17th?
On 17th April, 1853 the first agricultural school in Argentina was founded, in the hopes of adapting French grapes to the soils of Mendoza.
This date is a symbol of the transformation of Argentina's wine industry and the starting point for the development of Malbec, an emblem for Argentina worldwide.
