The Story Behind the Wine: The Bodega Dos Familias story goes back to 1861, when the winery was originally built as a wheat mill, later transformed into a wine-making facility in 1894. Located in Mendoza, Argentina, the property has been producing wine for over a century. The current owners revived the winery in 2002, modernizing its facilities while preserving its 19th-century architecture, which has been declared a Cultural and Architectural Patrimony of Mendoza. The Familia Colombi Reserve Malbec 2020 is made from grapes grown in the prestigious Perdriel region at the foothills of the Andes, offering a perfect expression of Mendoza's high-altitude terroir. This Malbec is aged in French oak barrels, enhancing its complexity and structure​.
