The birth of a quality wine starts with the right choice of the vine and the location where it grows.

CLIMATE, SOIL, WATER, ORIENTATION AND HEIGHT ARE CONDITIONS WHICH,
COMBINED PROVIDE THE REQUIRED ENVIRONMENT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A GOOD QUALITY GRAPE.

Cold and dry winters offer the period of rest needed to generate the essential balance. Bright and sunny summers with a daily cycle of
cold and heat assist

the ripening process. Light and neutral soil is watered by underground water fed with thaw, which ensures the best irrigation.
It is only when the elements of nature are so combined and man contributes his craftsmanship, that the wines typical of a given region
are obtained.

Small quantities of high quality wines, among the best of Argentina, are produced in the winery

Originally from Genoa, Italy, the Basso Family has been producing wine since 1922.

In their beginning they owned the "Purísima" winery from where they sold wines in 220 liter wooden barrels.
In 1935, Adolfo Basso, together with his brother Tulio,
purchased the "Santa Ana" winery, eventually turning it into one of Argentina's largest bodegas.
Seeking to simplify their lives and once again become involved in small production winemaking,
the family sold "Santa Ana" in 1996.
Using the profits from this sale the Basso's purchased and remodeled a small winery in Carrodilla,
Mendoza the following year

INSIDE THIS SPACE THE "CARLOS BASSO" PROJECT WAS BORN.
THE WINERY IS 100% ESTATE, WITH TWO VINEYARDS IN MENDOZA'S UCO VALLEY

Carlos and his son Adolfo run the day to day operations of the winery.
