Piero Incisa della Rocchetta
Piero Incisa della Rocchetta is the founder of Chacra, established in 2004 in Mainqué, Patagonia. Grandson of Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, creator of Sassicaia, Piero spent two decades working alongside his family’s estate before pursuing his own vision in Patagonia, inspired by ungrafted Pinot Noir vines planted in 1932 and 1955. Working organically and biodynamically from the beginning, he has focused on restoring old vineyards and expressing the character of Rio Negro through thoughtful farming and precise winemaking. In partnership with renowned Burgundy vigneron Jean Marc Roulot, Chacra also produces Chardonnay rooted in the same philosophy of place. His wines have earned international acclaim, including Chacra Treinta y Dos 2018 being named Wine of the Year by James Suckling, along with two perfect 100 point scores across different vintages. Today, Chacra is celebrated for wines defined by purity, vitality, and a strong sense of terroir shaped by Patagonia’s unique microclimate.
