The Wines of Argentina has created a new promotional video with a stunning representation of what Argentina is about and what it has to offer. As the website puts it, Argentina is a country of contradictions: old and new, European and still Latin, urban and wild. Are you planning a trip to Argentina? Have a look at the immense variety of things to see and do in this land of contrasts.
The images and graphics show this gorgeous mix of the modern and the traditional, with astonishing natural beauty, authentic culture, food and wine, and a ton of pride. The final text, “overwhelming emotions: expressed to excess” really characterizes Argentina and Argentines for me. It’s part of why I’ve made Argentina my home for the last four years and why I plan to stay.
I first saw this video on The Argentine Post, an amazing resource that’s insightful yet brief.

Angela, thanks for sharing this beautifully-produced video. It really does capture, simply and elegantly, the essence of Argentina as a land of (sometimes frustrating!) contradictions.
Hey there… glad that you agree. I even think they sort of picked up on those sometimes frustrating parts. After all, it all comes in one package.

I came across this via Katie’s post on Facebook. I don’t know if it was the music or the images or what but I teared up a bit. Such a succinct but accurate description. And the photos are movingly beautiful too. Thanks for sharing.
Couldn’t agree more. So interesting the effect it had on you, Ana. They clearly did a great job!

I loved the post and i loved the comments. I was a little involved in the process of creating the new brand and i feel myself verymuch identified with the concept.
Some of the pictures of the video are mine, so i little bit of proud on that.
Argentina is a hard place to leave, specially if you ar born there, as it is my case.
Cheers from hong kong
