In 1997, Baroness Philippine de Rothschild and Don Eduardo Guilisasti Tagle, two towering figures of the wine world, sealed a visionary alliance between two historic families: Baron Philippe de Rothschild, founded in 1853, and Viña Concha y Toro, created in 1883. From this union was born Almaviva, a wine conceived from the outset as a true work of art.

Almaviva is the extraordinary meeting point of two worlds and two cultures:

Chile, with the raw power of its nature, the spectacular terroirs of Puente Alto, its stony soils, its clockwork climate and its passionate people. France, with its ancestral savoir-faire, its Bordeaux heritage and its tireless pursuit of elegance and harmony. The result? A wine that combines the sun-drenched power of the New World with the refined elegance of the Old Continent.
