Escala Humana
Summary
Escala Humana Wine was started in 2015 by husband and wife team Ayelén and Germán Massera. Germán began making wine in 2003 while studying Enology and Viticulture in Mendoza and has worked with Matías Michelini since 2016. Germán became interested in the history of the Uco Valley and its forgotten places and varietals. While the majority of the oldest vines are in Lujan and Maipu, there is a small handful of 4th and 5th generation producers in the Uco Valley who brought vines from Europe. Aye and Germán fell in love with two of these small vineyards where they grow Malvasia, Bequignol (a light bodied red varietal from Southwest France), Sangiovese and a few other varietals. These vineyards are located in El Zampal, a sub region of Tupungato in the Uco Valley where the soils are comprised of clay, loam and sand. Brazos currently imports two cuvees from Escala Humana: a Bequignol and a skin contact Malvasia. Aye and Germán make these wines in the town of Tupungato at Matías Michelini’
