Since 1999 Industria Chimica Valenzana has decided to make investments even in the Argentinean Republic, more precisely in the town of San Rafael, county of Mendoza. Argentina, a country deeply devoted to the wine manufacturing, in its wide extensions may produce huge quantities of lees, just arising from the production of wine, and those lees are transformed into Calcium Tartrate in the ICV Argentina's plant. 

In fact here ICV Argentina is having a precious experience through the supply of raw materials coming up from the wineries all over the nation. In its plant Calcium Tartrate and Surfin/Neutral Alcohol are produced 

The manufacturing of Alcohol is locally sold to the wineries, which buy it for various purposes, such as spiriting the musts or for the manufacturing of aromatic liquors, while the whole production of Calcium Tartrate is exported to Italy, to I.C.V. S.p.A., its mother company, where the last production phase is made to obtain Tartaric Acid.

I.C.V. S.p.A. exports a small quantity of natural tartaric acid produced in Italy to the wineries which are clients of its Argentinian branch.

In Argentina the company is also specialised in the filtering of lees, together with the training of the personnel assigned to the working on filters, what is normally left to the single wineries in Europe. The result is, on one hand that more advanced technologies in the process of filtering by the local producers is developed to obtain a better product, both in quality and quantity, and, on the other hand, the quantities of raw material produced are better controlled.

Alcoholera San Juan S.a, in fact, has ten filters for lees “diemme” type, with 105 auto transported plates 1.20 by 1.20 mts, other than a great number of small filters used for manufacturing with “Must of Sulfitado”, i.e. “Mute Must”
