Paraje Altamira is a Argentina wine-geography entry for the Uco Valley context, useful for readers who see a protected origin, GI, DO, or WO name on a label rather than only a country or broad region. Its practical identity is: San Carlos IG known for stony alluvial soils and detailed Malbec with floral, mineral, and red-fruit character. Typical grapes include Malbec; Cabernet Franc; Chardonnay. The wines are commonly textured reds with red plum, violet, herbs, chalky tannin, and mineral drive. The growing setting is Uco Valley alluvial fan with stones, sand, silt, and calcium carbonate in a high desert setting. This entry is written as reference-encyclopedia geography: it explains place, grapes, style, and label context without ranking estates or becoming a buying list.
