Fileteado Porteño
The “Fileteado Porteño” emerged at the end of the 19th century as an ornament to beautify horse-drawn carts that transported food, later transitioning to decorate buses.
Although it has its origin in France, for several decades Argentina has been the main producer of Malbec globally.
International Malbec Day emerged from the growth and evolution of the varietal’s production. This was what prompted Wines of Argentina, an entity that promotes Argentine wine in the world, to establish a day in the year to celebrate Malbec and, along with it, also the success of the local wine industry.
The choice of the date is not coincidental. On April 17, but in 1853, a project was presented to found a farm and an agricultural school in Mendoza, the first step to promote wine development in the country.
