Susana Balbo Wine
Born into a traditional family,
Susana reneged of her fate
since she was young by
applying to study nuclear
physics in Bariloche. Being
this a very unconventional
choice for the time, her
parents refused to let her
leave Mendoza. From that
point, Susana decided to
follow the family business
(viticulture) professionally,
thus challenging the
contemporary social beliefs,
because at that time no
women had graduated as
winemaker.
In 1981 Susana received her
degree in enology, and
became the first woman in
Argentina to do so. Her
career started in Cafayate,
Salta province at Michel
Torino winery where she was
in charge of developing and
stylizing the Torrontes
varietal. Afterwards she
worked at many well-
regarded wineries such as
Martins and Catena Zapata.
In 2012, she was recognized
as one of the "Most influental
women wine-makers" by The
Drink Business magazine.
Later, in 2015, she was
awarded by the same
magazine as "Woman of the
year". Recently in 2018, the
magazine recognized her
again by including her in the
list of "The 10 most
influental women in the wine
world".
Throughout her career as a
winemaker, Susana had the
opportunity of working
internationally. She was the
first Argentinean woman
hired as a consultant to
wineries worldwide: Spain,
Chile, Italy, Brazil, Australia,
and California. This
experience allowed her to
always be ahead of market
trends and wine styles. |
