Chacra Cincuenta y Cinco takes its name from 1955, the year this Pinot Noir vineyard was planted in Mainqué, Alto Valle del Río Negro — making the vines 69 years old at the 2024 harvest. Situated at 290–330 metres in northern Patagonia, the three parcels covering seven hectares rest on alluvial, sandy-pebbly soils formed at the confluence of the Limay and Neuquén rivers; the high sand content renders the site naturally inhospitable to phylloxera, allowing the vines to grow ungrafted on their own roots. The vineyard is farmed biodynamically, certified by Demeter, and the fruit is 100% Pinot Noir.

Grapes are harvested by hand and fermented with native yeasts using a blend of 50% whole clusters and 50% destemmed fruit in a combination of concrete vats and neutral oak barrels. Ageing takes place in roughly equal parts concrete tank and second-to-fourth-use French oak, with no new wood introduced at any stage; the wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered. Bodega Chacra was founded in 2004 by Piero Incisa della Rocchetta, grandson of Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, creator of Sassicaia — a lineage that lends context to the precision and restraint evident throughout the winemaking approach.

Identificación del vino
El vino se denomina Chacra Cincuenta y Cinco 2024, elaborado por Bodega Chacra en Argentina. La denominación de origen es Patagonia y la uva predominante es Pinot Noir.

Procedencia y elaboración
El viñedo de donde procede la uva se encuentra en Mainqué, en el Alto Valle del Río Negro, entre los 290 y 330 metros de altitud. Las cepas, plantadas en 1955, rozan las siete décadas y crecen sobre sus propias raíces (franc de pied) gracias a la naturaleza arenosa de los suelos aluviales y pedregosos de la confluencia de los ríos Limay y Neuquén, lo que impide la propagación de la filoxera. El proyecto abarca siete hectáreas divididas en tres parcelas, cultivadas bajo principios orgánicos y biodinámicos.

La vendimia es manual. La fermentación se realiza con levaduras nativas, utilizando un 50% de racimo entero y un 50% de uva despalillada, en vasijas de hormigón y barricas de roble neutro de uso previo. La crianza combina depósitos de hormigón y barricas francesas de segunda a cuarta utilización, sin madera nueva. El vino se comercializa sin clarificar ni filtrar. Detrás del proyecto se encuentra Piero Incisa della Rocchetta.

Puntuaciones y comentarios de críticos
Robert Parker le otorgó una puntuación de 96 puntos, mientras que James Suckling le asignó 97 puntos.

Carácter general
Se trata de un tinto con una estructura marcada por la edad avanzada de sus cepas y la preservación de la integridad aromática del fruto mediante un manejo de la madera que evita la nueva. Su elaboración busca mantener la textura natural del vino sin intervenciones de clarificación o filtrado posteriores a la fermentación y crianza.

Learn more about Bodega Chacra

Chacra was founded by Piero Incisa della Rocchetta, grandson of the Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta —the man who created Sassicaia in Bolgheri and proved the Tuscan coast could yield great reds. In 2004 he bought two hectares in the Río Negro valley, in Argentine Patagonia: a vineyard planted in 1932 and long abandoned, which had to be brought back entirely.

That is where the naming of the wines comes from, and it is as direct as it gets: each one is called after the year its vineyard was planted. Treinta y Dos for 1932, Cincuenta y Cinco for 1955. There is no invented brand name, there is a date.

The soil does the rest. These are sandy alluvial soils of the upper Río Negro valley, at Mainqué, and phylloxera does not thrive in sand, so the vines grow on their own roots, ungrafted. The estate is farmed organically and biodynamically.
