i. Biography
Analía Lazaneo is director of winery at Artesana in Canelones, Uruguay. In practical terms, that puts her in charge of the estate’s cellar decisions and the day-to-day cadence that turns fruit into finished wine. The work reads through the bottle: in the sequencing of cellar operations, the choices made vintage by vintage, and the consistency that comes from one hand holding the line across the whole production cycle.
Coming Up
The early formation of a cellar director often comes from breadth rather than title, and Analía Lazaneo’s first years at Bodega Bouza were built that way, through various roles across winery work. That kind of experience teaches the mechanics of the trade from more than one angle: how cellar tasks connect, where bottlenecks appear, and what discipline is required to keep standards intact. Since 2007, she has served as director of winery of Artesana, carrying that working knowledge into the estate’s long-term winemaking direction.
Where They Are Now
At Artesana, Lazaneo remains director of winery, with responsibility that reaches across production in Las Brujas, Canelones. The position sits at the center of the estate’s seasonal rhythm, where decisions made early carry through to the final wine in bottle. Her role is not only administrative; it is where style, repetition, and house consistency are kept aligned from one vintage to the next.
Signature
The signature wines associated with Analía’s work point to range within a single house style: Tannat 100%, Tannat Merlot, Tannat rosado, TMZ, and Devoción 2020. Each sits in a different register of the portfolio, from the structure and weight expected of Tannat, to the blend format of Tannat Merlot, to the lighter expression of Tannat rosado, with TMZ and Devoción 2020 adding their own specific identities. Taken together, they show a cellar hand that works across format without losing consistency.
In Their Words “The proposal made me very excited, and there I invited Enologist Valeria Gatti and we designed the project together.” “After studying Enology, I began my first steps at Bodega Bouza in various roles.” Those two lines map the shape of the work: collaboration at the start of a project, and training grounded in actual winery duties rather than abstraction. In Lazaneo’s case, the through-line is clear enough. Bodega Bouza provided the working base, and Artesana became the long-term site where that experience was put to use in the steady management of winemaking.
