Excelent questions... ^ I assume you meant to write "familia" as the first term, am I correct?
" Reserva " has no formal wine meaning in Argentina, so there are no given requirements or specifications that a wine must comply with to use the word Reserva on its labels.
" Familia " means family in Spanish... and has no specific meaning in the labeling of Argentine wines. However, some producers will use the term " Reserva de la Familia " to denote a special limited edition, or a premium label that they may have as part of their portfolio. Depending on the specific producer, this usually means that the wines are of better quality.
