In 1883, Federico Benegas Lynch's great-grandfather, Don Tiburcio Benegas founded the "El Trapiche" winery. Faced with the economic crisis that the province was going through, which was a producer of alfalfa and wheat, Don Tiburcio had the vision that Mendoza should be a great producer of fine wines worldwide (until that moment during the 19th century there were between 500 and 2,000 hectares of vineyards planted) and not only focuses on his project, but also encourages other producers to incorporate new techniques and plant fine varieties by distributing the stakes that he had brought from France to anyone who would like to plant vines. Thus Don Tiburcio became one of the most important personalities of 19th century American viticulture along with Agoston Haraszthy in California and Silvestre Ochagavia in Chile. At the beginning of the '70s, when the Argentine wine industry was immersed in a crisis, the shareholders who controlled the family company Benegas Hnos. Decided to dissolve El Trapiche, and all the assets were sold separately: brands, vineyards, it was demolished. the winery and is sold subdivided. Federico grew up accompanying his father in making wines in El Trapiche. After the dissolution of the company, he went to live in Buenos Aires. But his passion for Mendoza and for wine made him return in search of recovering the family legacy. This is how in 1999 he had the opportunity to buy Finca Libertad, an old vineyard planted by his great-grandfather Don Tiburcio, which was the basis of the project to produce wines of excellence again, the BENEGAS wines. Two years later he buys an old winery located in Luján de Cuyo, which he completely restores following the architecture of the 19th century and incorporating the most modern technology. In the year 2000, the first harvest was carried out and marketed under the name of Bodega Benegas

Back in 1890, Don Fernando Riili arrived in Argentina with his wife Antonia Vacante and five of their thirteen children, coming from Sicily in search of new horizons. The family settled in Colonia Segovia, Guaymallén, in the province of Mendoza. It is said that the soils of the area captivated Don Fernando to begin the dream of his own vine growing outside Europe.
