Escala Humana
Escala Humana Wines was founded in 2015 by Ayelén and Germán Massera, who are also a couple. Germán started making wines in 2003 while majoring in Oenology and Winemaking in Mendoza, and has worked with Matías Michelini since 2016.
The wines made by Escala Humana are a sensitive interpretation of the terroir: the soil, the climate, the topography, the vines and the culture of the people who create an environment of their own. Throughout this subjective, singular and genuine interpretation, Escala Humana creates wines with a sense of origin, and every bottle has its raison d'être.
This winery's mission is to make sustainable viticulture with minimum intervention, looking for authenticity and transparency in each of their wines and imprinting their personality with the surrounding context.
