BODEGA SOTTANO

Don Fioravante Sottano, from Veneto in Italy, settled down in Mendoza in 1890. He was a pioneer, promoting the agriculture and the industry in the region, planting vineyards to produce wine in his own winery and, later on, exporting it. He motivated others to follow in his footsteps. Nowadays, encouraged by the passion that their predecessors passed on, the three brothers: Diego, Pablo and Mauricio Sottano continue building the future of the family business on solid foundations.
