For years, women have been making their way in the world of wine. Find out who are the main Argentine exponents of wine culture.
In recent years, the world has witnessed a historical and cultural phenomenon that has revolutionized relations between men and women. We are talking about the advance of women into territories that were usually reserved for men.
Within the Argentine wine industry, this situation is replicated. More and more women winemakers, sommeliers, agronomists, and winery owners are adding a feminine touch to a world that was traditionally reserved for male exponents.
Here we introduce you to the Argentine women of wine, those exponents who help to place this beverage at the top.
Defying social conventions and the vision of a traditional family, Balbo graduated in 1981 with a degree in enology. This made her the first female winemaker in Argentina. Throughout her professional life, she worked in different local wineries, including Michel Torino, Martins, and Catena Zapata.
She was president of Vinos de Argentina on three occasions and also worked as a consultant for prestigious international wineries. For the last 10 years, she has been in charge of her firm, Susana Balbo Wines, an author winery that has had strong growth in different markets worldwide.
A graduate of the CAVE school in Buenos Aires, Gamper was consecrated, in 2019, as the Best Sommelier in Argentina, winning first place in the contest organized by the Argentine Association of Sommeliers.

In addition to being the general manager of the Catena Zapata winery and having her firm called Bodega Luca, Catena is a medical doctor.

She is in charge of the vineyards of Alta Vista Winery, located 15 kilometers from the city of Mendoza. Alfonso is an agronomist engineer, a profession she chose because of her early contact with the world of wine on her family’s estate, where there were Malbec and olive vineyards.
