The huge family business in Argentina was founded in 1963 by Alberto Zuccardi (son of Italian immigrants from Avellino in Campania), who planted the first vines. It is divided into three areas. These are viticulture with two wineries, olive growing and tourism and hotel operations with the three restaurants "Casa del Visitante" and "Pan Y Oliva" in Maipú and "Piedra Infinita Cocina" in the Uco Valley.

The company is managed by José Alberto Zuccardi, who is president of the winegrowers' association. All 900 workers are permanently employed. In contrast to the usual day labourer system, the families (adults and children) can plan the whole year with a fixed income. Educational opportunities are offered with sports and leisure, adult education, childcare, music lessons, schools, computer centres and nutritional advice.
