Bodega Noemia brand is the brainchild of Italian Countess and wine producer Noemi Marone Cinzano and the famous Danish winemaker Hans Vinding-Diers. Upon the discovery of the old Malbec vineyard, countess Noemi Marone Cinzano and Hans Vinding-Diers proceeded to restore the old vineyard back to life. They purchased the small property and set to make a small vinification for fun. The wine was bottled, brought by chance to a famous winefair and gained immediate notoriety, so they then decided to settle there for a bit and pursue their dream of making the finest wine possible thanks to those beautiful old plants. They partnered for 18 years in the project until recently, where Hans Vinding-Diers, together with his wife and children, took over sole ownership of Bodega Noemía and the countess is now concentrating on other projects of hers in Europe.

Since the very beginning at Bodega Noemía, the philosophy was to bring the vineyard to the bottle in the most sincere way. To achieve such a feat, we go by the following steps:

We pick by hand
We do de-stemming and full bunch
We use the most traditional ways of extraction like punching down or even foot treading
For the single vineyards we help proliferate the spontaneous yeasts and for the A Lisa we use the best quality yeast selections that a Danish laboratory provides us with
We ferment in open wooden fermenters, cement vessels and stainless steel tanks
We do our “elevage” which means ageing, in 600 litres by 43 mm oak vats and mostly seasoned barriques. Every year we include a 15% of new barrels in order to renew our stock

Bodega Noemia makes three wines: A Lisa (named after Hans Vinding-Diers’ grandmother), J Alberto (homage to Noemi’s father and cousin), and Bodega Noemia (signature wine).
