Alandes, (word combination of "Wines from Along the Andes") is one of Karim Mussi's projects, who along with his partners, found a beautiful old winery, to develop new brands and styles without the restrictions of producing wines from grapes of/from a single terroir. Every label of Alandes is driven by an individual concept, that represents absolute freedom, a "Laize Faire" winemaking philosophy that is spread in an extensive territory without boundaries.
