Agustín Lombroni

Where They Are Now

The line into the trade ran through Universidad Don Bosco and then Bodega La Rural in Mendoza, where Agustín Lombroni worked as a wine industry worker. That early position built the practical base that later roles would rely on: cellar experience, technical routine, and the habit of close observation. It is the sort of grounding that matters in wine work, where consistency is built through repetition, attention, and an understanding of how each stage affects the next. Since 2012, the work at Bodega Del Río Elorza has required both oversight and restraint. As wine director and winemaker, Agustín Lombroni has held responsibility for the broader direction of the winery while staying tied to the specific decisions that shape the wine itself. In Fernández Oro, that means reading the material as it is, not as a preset idea, and guiding it with a steady hand.

Signature

Verum Los Cisnes, Verum María Victoria, Verum Chardonnay, and Verum Pinot Noir are the wines that identify Agustín Lombroni’s work most clearly. The range points to a maker concerned with consistency across different expressions rather than a single formula. Across those wines, the emphasis stays on clarity, poise, and structure. Taken together, Verum Los Cisnes, Verum María Victoria, Verum Chardonnay, and Verum Pinot Noir show a style that values the shape of the wine as much as its immediate appeal. They are the clearest markers of his signature, and the names through which that approach is most visible.

In Their Words “I think what makes Argentine wine recognized in the world is the balance that the terroir has achieved between climate, soil, and the work of man in the vineyard.” That statement places the craft where it belongs: in the relationship between site and labor, not in any single factor acting alone. “I think it is a sum of all of them, although in my personal experience altitude is not quality.” The point is measured rather than absolute. For Agustín Lombroni, wine is built from multiple conditions working together, with no one element carrying the whole weight on its own.
