Bodega Calle

Winery

Bodega Calle is a restored boutique winery dating from the late 19th century. It specializes in producing fine red wines through the use of its exclusive gravity-flow method, where Alberti 154 and Ca’ de Calle are made to conquer your palate. Bodega Calle is located in the prestigious wine growing area of Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina.

The names Alberti 154 come from our off the beaten path street addresses and it is here where we focus on fine varietal wines and blends. Here we leave the routine behind to get to the place less traveled as we stay true to our history. Ca’ de Calle, or “House of Calle” refers to the winery’s historic house, named after the founder, Ms. Elvira Antequeda Calle, a famous business woman, owner of the largest newspaper in Mendoza and a dedicated philanthropist.

The winery sources grapes for its red wines and premium red blend from the areas in which each variety grows best. Perdriel, Barrancas, Agrelo for very good Cabernet Sauvignon, Luján de Cuyo and Altamira for Malbec, Merlot from Tupungato, Altamira Valley for Tempranillo and Syrah from Agrelo.

All wines are made with the winery’s unique gravity system and the grapes are never crushed or pumped to the fermentation tank, thereby improving product quality. The resulting wines burst with ripe fruit flavors are smoother and are less bitter than when using other more aggressive processing methods implemented by other wineries.

Wines

Alberti 154 Malbec Agrelo 2010

Perdriel, Drummond and Agrelo are the preferred districts of Luján de Cuyo for production of our DOC Malbec. The limited time in oak keeps this wine bright and fruity, while maintaining classic aromas and flavors. You can not think of a better Malbec to enjoy everyday at home.

Alberti 154 Tempranillo 2009

Roughly half of Mendoza’s population is of Spanish descent, and over the years a number of Tempranillo vines have been planted in the region. This bottling, from an heirloom quality parral style vineyard in Altamira, is packed with lush cherry and raspberry fruit. A long growing season, very cold nights and low yields helped create a wine that is extremely concentrated.

Alberti 154 Torrontes 2010

This Torrontés, the first white wine Alberti 154, is a fabulous example of the grape. It’s a delicious blend of two regions famous for Torrontes. It combines grapefruit and citrus notes of the wines of La Rioja with aromas of flowers and perfume of wines from Salta.
