The Climb
The work of building a winery over time is visible in Marcelo Pelleriti’s own enterprise, founded in 1994 and still operating under his name. Since 2001, that practice has also extended across France and Mendoza, where winemaking, viticulture, and management have been part of the same brief. Bordeaux and Monteviejo sit inside that geography, along with general manager and CEO responsibilities for Marcelo Pelleriti winery projects. The result is a career defined less by a single post than by the accumulation of responsibilities held across two countries.
Today
The present tense of this work is administrative and technical at once: winemaking, viticulture, and the management required to hold projects together across France and Mendoza. Marcelo Pelleriti’s name stays attached to that span from 2001 onward, with Bordeaux and Monteviejo marking the professional ground where the work has been carried out. The through-line is continuity, not flash.
Signature
The signature wines associated with Marcelo Pelleriti are Signature Malbec, Signature Cabernet Franc, Selection Grand Reserve, and Lindaflor. Taken together, the list points to a working vocabulary that moves between varietal bottlings and named selections, with each label carrying his name as part of the record.
In Their Words “Crafting wine is much like composing a song - it requires balance, nuance, and a deep connection to inspiration.” “Music is an integral part of my life and profoundly influences my approach to winemaking.” These lines place the discipline in terms of structure. Balance, nuance, inspiration, and music all describe a method of listening before acting, and of treating timing as part of the work. In Marcelo Pelleriti’s own framing, winemaking and music share the same demand for control, rhythm, and proportion.
Recognition
The strongest form of recognition in Marcelo Pelleriti’s profile is professional trust across place: Mendoza-born, Argentine, and active in Tunuyán, Pomerol, and Bordeaux. Those appointments carry the weight here. They show a career measured through geography and responsibility, with credibility built through repeated placement in different working contexts rather than through a single public prize. His own words sharpen that idea. “The silence before creating is crucial, both in music and winemaking.” The line describes a craft that begins with restraint. Before expression comes the pause, and before movement comes attention.
