Our History: Juan Giol, Bautista Gargantini and Pascual Toso came from Europe to Argentina around 1.880 and settled in Mendoza. They associated and established their first winery, being really pioneers of the Argentine wine industry. We are their direct descendents in fourth generation. Our grandparents Humberto Giol (Juan’s son) and Eleonora Gargantini (Bautista’s daughter) got married and in the thirties, with the same spirit of their parents, bought wineries, vineyards and also founded Bodega y Viñedos San Polo. These possessions were situated in one of the best environments for wine growing and wine making, right by the foot of the Andes Mountain range. Nowadays Alejandra Giol and Rodolfo Masera are the owners of the winery, they want to follow the same spirit of their Great-Grand father and his love for the wine industry. 2

PIUQUENES 10
PIUQUENES New Design 2009 The Piuquenes are wild ducks that inhabit the high valleys of The Andes. They symbolize the free spirit that bind land, water and sky together; filling with magic and splendor all those that watch their flight in the clean Andean sky. Likewise, with our wines, we want to transmit this spirit of freedom and to leave a magic and unique moment, with their aromas and flavors 11

ZENTAS, Exclusive Brand made to Familia Masera – Giol. Zentas is the reunion that the Indians of the high- mountain Valleys had to offer the fruits of their efforts, and thank Mother Earth for the blessings received after another cycle of life, reigned by suns and moons. In this festivity they celebrated the communion of the senses, the spirit, the earth, water and sky. We, Masera – Giol Family , want to preserve the same soul of those inhabitants that preceded us at the foot of these magnificent peaks. In this rugged landscape of rocks, sand and clay, it emerges the splendor of grapes brought by our ancestors, reaching with their grape must made with devotion and ancient tradition, the communion of the senses, hoping that those who taste our wines feel the pleasure that will remain engraved in the colours , aromas and tastes always given by the fruit of our Andean Lands. 15
