Based in Nacimiento, Bio-Bio, Chile - with some vines in the Itata Valley. He farms around 6ha; some vines are over 200 years old. Grapes are Pais, Muscat, Corinto (Chasselas) and Semillon. After working in vineyards across the world, Roberto set up on his own in 2015 (he is a busy chap as he still has a day job working as an organic consultant).
