Hugo Laricchia

FOUNDER

FFounder of Discovery Wine Mendoza. After a long life in which he was a professional rugby player in Italy in his youth and then with a long career as director of important companies in Argentina and Mexico, he left everything to live off and in what he loves: Mendoza and its wines. His knowledge of Mendoza wines is that of a passionate person; his work experience allowed him to provide this project with a level of professionalism rarely seen, and his love for Mendoza led him to participate in local politics leading lists in elections. It was a meteoric emergence from the private sector to traditional politics. Today he shares his time between vineyards and TV channels or radios.
