Cuma - Organic Torrontés
The CUMA wines from Michel Torino come from the high altitude vineyards of the Calchaqui Valley, located in northwest province of Salta, Argentina. With vineyards starting at 5,500 feet above sea level and rising to over 6,600 feet, CUMA’s wines are unique expressions of the region.
The Calchaqui valley is bordered by 2 mountain ranges–the Quilmes to the west and the Aconquija to the east, creating natural barrier and microclimate. Temperatures in the valley have a wide, thermal range with hot days and cool nights. With plentiful sunshine (more than 330 days a year) and limited rainfall (less than 8 inches a year), the conditions are perfect for the production of wines with deep color, rich fruit, and crisp acidity.
The word CUMA means pure and clean in the Aymara language. Aymara people have inhabited in the north of Argentina since before the empire of the Inca. This simple word expresses our commitment to keep a pure and clean environment for coming generations.
