The history of Bodega Humberto Canale, the Argentinian wine label dates back to as early as 1909. It was during this time that Engineer Humberto Canale realised the potential of the Alto Valle del Rio Negro region, when he started doing some irrigation work on it. Today, 11 decades and 5 generations later, this is one of the most respected wine labels in Argentina, the country where people are quite particular about their wines.
The Bodega Humberto Canale Winery was established during 1999 in Patagonia, a place that is known for its lakes, deserts, glaciers, mountains and natural abundance all over. At the Patagonian winery, modern and traditional winemaking techniques are practiced with equal fervour and expertise, to make high-quality and individualistic wines that are symbolic of this region.
Sustainable winemaking practices such as using pomace, seeds and bees for processing, indigenous yeasts for fermentation and melt water for irrigation are followed at the winery here. Some of the popular wines from the stables of Humberto Canale are:
