Escala Humana Wines

Escala Humana began in 2015 as the Uco Valley project of viticulturists Ayelén Bonetto and Germán Masera. Masera had worked in cellars in Mendoza, the United States, Spain and Patagonia, while Bonetto grew up around her family’s wine business.

Based in Gualtallary, they seek out old vineyards in places such as El Zampal and El Peral, working with overlooked varieties including Malvasía and Bequignol. Their farming follows sustainable practices, with native-yeast fermentation and minimal intervention in the cellar.
