Banfi trip to Chile

16-25 April 2008 - Seven lucky Target 2007 winning agents who, at the 2008 vintagehad the pleasure of visiting the famous and prestigious chilean wine valleys. It was an exciting and constructive experience in which we had the opportunity to get to know different and interesting wineries.

Banfi trip to Chile

From the enchanting and 'wild' Bodega de Los Robles (in the Colchagua Valley) where Emiliana is dedicated to the production of biodynamic wines, to the impeccable and elegant charm of the Almaviva winery (in the Maipo Valley), where Concha y Toro in collaboration with Baron Philippe de Rothschild produces Chile's first Premier Grand Cru Classé.

Passion for wine was the main theme of this magnificent experience, which ended in northern Chile with an unforgettable visit to the Atacama Desert, the driest desert in the world. Hasta luego!

The project on the territory, carried out in collaboration with the Research Unit for Viticulture of the CREA and the Edmund Mach Foundation of San Michele all'Adige, aims at assessing the phytosanitary, agronomic and oenological aspects of some promising genotypes obtained by crossing or selecting vine varieties that have shown high quality standards and/or characters of reduced sensitivity to the main fungal diseases.
