Founded in 1891 by Don Luis Tirasso, Santa Ana proudly positioned itself amongst the first wine producers in South America. Santa Ana has come a long way since then, and from the early 1980s has learned, and implemented, an ongoing strategy for grape-growing and winemaking. Santa Ana has built up an enviable clutch of vineyards in the high valleys within the foothills of the Andes – here the steep slopes of the mountains provide natural thaw irrigation and a great diversity of aspects and soil types, resulting in a complexity of sites suitable for various grape varieties, which are planted specifically for the microclimate.
