Tupungato

Location: Argentina

Legal name: Tupungato

Nested under: Uco Valley

Tupungato 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: Northern Uco Valley department with high-elevation vineyards for bright Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. Typical grapes include Malbec; Cabernet Franc; Chardonnay; Sauvignon Blanc. The wines are commonly fresh reds with floral lift and fine tannin; high-acid whites with citrus and mountain tension. The growing setting is high Andean alluvial fans with altitude, stony soils, and large day-night temperature swings. This entry is written as reference-encyclopedia geography: it explains place, grapes, style, and label context without ranking estates or becoming a buying list.
