An impossible meeting if you did not have today's technology. Separated by an entire continent. United by the same crazy passion that characterizes the lovers of the Vine.

A brotherhood that was born by accident. An email destined for someone else... A phone call that conceived a trip to meet personally.

Sharing several days between laughter, wine and talks that led these two strangers to realize that they had a lot in common.

This project began back in 2014, but was consolidated in 2017, when Enzo and Alejandro decided to enter into a partnership, driven by the idea of exploring and bringing wines that tell a story to Argentina. From unique and remote regions. Unsurpassed quality wines. And thus fulfill a common dream: to form the most important importer of fine wines in Argentina. 

Enzo Trentanove Roth

CEO

He was born in January 1981. With values of discipline, effort, dedication and sacrifice; something he learned from his parents. His basic education was carried out at the General San Martin Military High School. Later, he studied Systems Engineering, which he did not finish, because it was not his vocation. Finally, he completed the career of Public Auctioneer to dedicate himself to Real Estate. All this forges Enzo, turning him into a disciplined, professional person, with a strong character, but full of kindness...

This is more or less how this story begins... After his first trip to Mendoza in 2014, which until now were just a family vacation. He toured one of the most emblematic wineries in our country, and at the end of his 10-day trip, he had visited more than 15 wineries, tasting their wines and learning about the process from growing the vine to marketing the wine.

He had the opportunity to meet many people who were well-versed in the subject and other highly specialized ones who were able to transmit their passion to him, and which would later also become his... That trip was a before and after in Enzo's life.

At that time he was absolutely dedicated to what was his profession for 10 years, the world of Real Estate. But in him, that seed of curiosity of wanting to know more and more about the world of wine was growing...

Behold, when you decide to change your course... You realize that success is useless, if you don't do what you love. Discover your true passion. It was love at first sight. He began to delve into the culture of the fermented grape. Tasting, traveling, learning, making friends with Winemakers, aficionados, chefs and sommeliers. Enzo found his identity and his vocation.

He began learning about Argentine wines and his curiosity led him to want to know a little more about wines from other parts of the world. He began to explore and could see the lack of local options to meet them. This led him to study the market, inquiring with certain consumers who love good wine, to find out which wines from other countries were of interest to them.

During the first two years, he began to bring certain labels of some of the most recognized wines in the world to the country to see the reaction of the local market; and thus evaluate the possibility of opening a path that was not yet developed in our country.

This is how International Wine & More was born…

Alejandro Zaldumbide

DIRECTOR OF IMPORTS

Since he was little, Alejandro was exposed to the art of good eating and drinking, thanks to the influence of his parents. His first high-level culinary adventure was at the age of 6, when his parents took him to celebrate their anniversary at Valentino's, one of the most iconic restaurants in the city of Los Angeles in the '80s and '90s. After trying Crab cakes for the first time, nothing was the same. A door was opened that was never closed again. The love of good food.

His love for wine began a couple of years later, when his father gave him small amounts of wine to taste, explaining the process of making it, asking what he was finding on the nose and in the mouth. Little by little, he was discovering aromas and flavors. He learned that wine has a life of its own and that no glass tastes the same. Years later, he decides to study creative writing. Not being convinced with this career, he decided to study cooking at the prestigious Le Cordón Blu school in Hollywood, California. After graduating, he excelled in hotels and catering companies, working on events for celebrities and major political figures.

Despite the love of cooking, I still felt an emptiness. That of wine, and this is when he decided to start working in the world of wine and spirits distribution. In his more than 10 years of experience in the industry, Alejandro has received numerous certifications, from important schools such as The Court of Master Sommelier and the WSET school in London. Along the way, he has forged deep friendships with some of the best producers and Winemakers from the major wine regions of the globe.

We import wines to Argentina with soul, with identity, of unmatched quality: that represent the terroir of their respective regions.
