Chacra Cincuenta y Cinco 2024 | Pinot Noir
69.90 €
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.
Wine Identification
Chacra Cincuenta y Cinco is a red wine produced by Bodega Chacra in Argentina’s Patagonia region. The 2024 vintage is crafted exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes.
Origin and Winemaking
The vineyards are located in Mainqué, within the Alto Valle del Río Negro, at altitudes between 290 and 330 meters above sea level. Planted in 1955, the vines are nearly seventy years old and grow on alluvial, stony soils with a sandy nature formed by the confluence of the Limay and Neuquén rivers. This specific soil composition prevents phylloxera from thriving, allowing the vines to remain on their own roots (franc de pied) without the need for rootstock. The project encompasses three parcels totaling seven hectares of Pinot Noir, cultivated entirely according to Demeter-certified biodynamic principles.
The founder, Piero Incisa della Rocchetta—grandson of Sassicaia creator Mario Incisa della Rocchetta—established Bodega Chacra in 2004. Harvesting is conducted manually. Fermentation utilizes native yeasts in concrete vats and neutral oak barrels. The process involves a blend of 50% whole clusters and 50% destemmed grapes. Aging takes place in concrete tanks and French oak barrels in their second to fourth use, with no new wood. The wine is bottled without clarification or filtration.
Tasting Profile
As a red Pinot Noir from Patagonia, this wine reflects the character of old-vine fruit grown in biodynamic conditions. The winemaking approach emphasizes minimal intervention, relying on native fermentation and neutral vessels to preserve the varietal purity and terroir expression without adding oak influence.
Critical Reception
The Wine Advocate (Parker) awarded 96 points. James Suckling awarded 97 points.
Overall Character
Chacra Cincuenta y Cinco represents a serious, old-vine Pinot Noir project rooted in unique Patagonian terroir. Its distinction lies in the ancient, ungrafted vines and rigorous biodynamic farming, resulting in an authentic expression of the Alto Valle del Río Negro.

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.
