Humberto Canale

At 39 degrees southern latitude, Canale's vineyard in Patagonia lie in one of the world's most southerly wine regions. It is a cool-climate region that produces wines more delicate than those found in Mendoza. Nearby Antarctica has a strong cooling effect on the climate and the fierce winds of Patagonia keep the vines pest free. Intensely sunny days and chilly nights (diurnal variation, in wine geek parlance) allows for slow and consistent ripening of grapes, every vintage.
