The first step is always a conversation. Before talking about deadlines or deliverables, we need to understand what you're looking for, how urgent it is, and what you've already tried. From there, we put together a realistic plan, with achievable timelines and a clear idea of what you'll receive at each stage.
This is not a list of promises, but what you notice from the first week. The first step is a phone conversation where we define the scope, timelines, and costs. After that, the work progresses with brief meetings and partial deliverables that you can review without waiting until the end.
The difference lies in the pace: each stage has a review date, and the changes you request are incorporated before moving on to the next one. This way, we avoid surprises, and the final result matches what you imagined from the start.
See what services each stage includesWhen someone writes to us, we don't start with the price or the catalog. First, we listen to what they have in mind: a family dinner, a gift for a client, a box to take to a barbecue. Only after understanding that do we put together the order and have it ready for pickup or delivery.
The process is short and direct. There are no intermediate steps or long forms. If something can't be done, we say so in the first response, so nobody wastes time.
Write to us by phone or email telling us what you're looking for and by when. That's enough to know if we can help you.
We reply with what we have available, the quantities, and the delivery day. If something needs adjusting, we discuss it then.
We put the order together the day before. That way the wine rests and arrives in good condition, without last-minute rush.
We coordinate the meeting point or the shipment. For pickups in Sarandí, we let you know as soon as everything is ready.
If you have questions about which wine to choose or how to plan a larger purchase, you can see what we do at Villa Mariolu or write to us directly. We prefer to answer a specific question rather than send a generic catalog.
The story of Villa Mariolu is told in stages, from the first vine to the customers' table.
2009
We bought a three-hectare piece of land in Sarandí, without a winery or machinery. The first step was planting malbec and bonarda, varieties we knew from the area. There was no commercial harvest in the first year: the plants needed time and we needed patience.
2013
With the first harvest sold in bulk, we built a concrete shed with a capacity of twelve thousand liters. We bought a used press and two steel tanks. That year we bottled our first batch: two thousand bottles of malbec, all hand-numbered.
2017
We added French and Argentine oak barrels for the reserve wine. The room was built underground, taking advantage of the natural ground temperature. The first barrel-aged wine hit the market in 2019, with a run of eight hundred bottles.
2022
We opened the tasting room at the winery itself and started selling to the public. Today we welcome visitors on weekends and ship orders across the country. The winery remains a family project: four permanent staff members, with extra hands brought in during the harvest.
