In 1997, Baroness Philippine de Rothschild and Don Alfonso Larraín President of Concha y Toro, signed a partnership agreement to create a great Franco- Chilean wine called Almaviva. The estate includes a mansion, a bodega and a 50 hectare vineyard bringing together three Bordeaux grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon , Cabernet Franc and Carménère. This great wine is the fruit of the happy encounter between two cultures: Chile offers its soil, its climate and its vineyard; France brings its know-how and its traditions in wine-making. The name Almaviva belongs to classical French literature: Count Almaviva is the hero of the famous play by Beaumarchais (1732-1799), The Marriage of Figaro, which became an opera by the genius of Mozart. The label bears the name "Almaviva" from Beaumarchais's own handwriting and pays homage to Chile's ancestral history with three reproductions of a symbolic design of the Mapuche civilization.
