Familia Falasco

Bodegas Los Haroldos is one of Argentina’s leading family-owned wineries. The story began in 1939 when Haroldo Santos Falasco, known as ‘Don Lolo’, wheeled his bicycle through the streets of Chacabuco selling his wines from the basket on the front.

80 years later, Franco Falasco and his siblings are responsible for their family’s legacy: creating wines of excellence and quality for the world to enjoy.
