Silvio Alberto

The Climb

At Achával Ferrer in Mendoza, Argentina, Silvio Alberto served until 2017 as president, CEO, and person directly responsible for vineyards and oenology. The scope of that role required movement between field work and management, with the vineyard and the business both under the same remit. That combination gave his career range across winegrowing, production, and leadership. Since 2017, Silvio has been Chief Winemaker and viticulturalist of Bodegas Bianchi. The position keeps the vineyard and the finished wine in the same frame, with responsibility spanning both cultivation and making. For an artisan profile, that matters: the title itself says the work is not split between farm and cellar, but held together by one hand.

Today

In 2017, Alberto moved to Bodegas Bianchi, where he took on the role of Chief Winemaker and viticulturist. On the appointment, he said: “It a pleasure to be part of the team at Bodegas Bianchi, a company that combines great family tradition, a recognized brand, and a vision that encompasses quality and distinction in each of its products.” The current brief is defined by oversight in the vineyard and accountability in the cellar. As Chief Winemaker and viticulturist, Alberto works inside a structure where plant health and finished wine are linked, and his specialty in high-value wines from the Uco Valley gives that structure a clear regional focus. The work is measured through cultivation as much as through bottling. IV Generación Gran Malbec 2019 is the named wine attached to this period. Within a career shaped by vineyards and oenology, it is a specific reference point for the kind of output associated with Bodegas Bianchi and with Alberto’s current remit.

Signature

Silvio's signature wines include María Carmen, Bianchi IV Generación Corte 2019, and IV Generación Gran Malbec 2019. Together they indicate a style organized around precision and continuity, with each named wine marking a distinct expression of the same careful approach.

In Their Words “It a pleasure to be part of the team at Bodegas Bianchi, a company that combines great family tradition, a brand, and a vision that encompasses quality and prestige in each of its products.” “He was a professor akin to none who awoke in me the passion necessary to go forward with this career, and to give it the scientific and professional outlook it deserves.”

Recognition

Public recognition here sits in the scope of the roles Alberto has held. Until 2017 at Achával Ferrer, he covered vineyards, oenology, and company direction in one post, which placed him across both production and management. At Bodegas Bianchi since 2017, that breadth remains explicit in the title Chief Winemaker and viticulturist, with a stated focus on high-value wines from the Uco Valley. IV Generación Gran Malbec 2019 is the named signature work in that chapter, and the clearest fixed point in the record provided.
