Carbon footprint

Bodegas Salentein was the first Argentinian bodega to certify the carbon footprint from the grape to the consumer. Bodegas Salentein has calculated and certified the carbon footprint of its wine Portillo Malbec from the grape (“primary production”) to the consumer, becoming, like this, the first Argentinian bodega to obtain this certification with the reach “business to consumer”.

The certification has been issued by the Carbon Trust Certification of the United Kingdom, one of the most renowned certification entities in the entire world.
