Wine offers for "Almaviva" in find+buy

The winery "Viña Almaviva"" is located in Santa Rosa in the higher part of Puente Alto in the Maipo Valley (Chile), close to the capital Santiago de Chile. It was founded in 1997 as a joint venture between Château Mouton-Rothschild (Baroness Philippine de Rothschild) and the Concha y Toro winery. The aim was to produce a top Chilean red wine with a fusion of European and South American winemaking traditions. It was modelled on the Opus One joint venture between their father Baron Philippe de Rothschild (1902-1988) and Mondavi in California.

Naming

The highly symbolic name was given by the Baroness - a great lover of opera. This is the name of the title character of a trilogy of novels by the poet Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais (1732-1799), which later formed the basis for the libretto of Mozart's opera "The Marriage of Figaro". The books describe the life of Conte Almaviva in three cycles - youth, middle age and old age - which corresponds to the three stages of a wine's development.
