Musty and flat, the light body far into garnet–brown, basically–a tired swill of boredom and depression, completely forgettable in bouquet: worm castings and moldy detritus, swollen and bruised, fruitless to a tee. In the mouth, slight acidic burn announces rustic blandness in a projected service ideal only red-checkered-tablecloth, Linoleum-floored Italian joints could possibly pass off as vin…

In the vineyard we selected the most suitable bunches, those with the most sparse berries, of the Bosco, above all, and Vermentino varieties, which will create our #Sciacchetrà. 🥂
To choose the harvest period we were very careful about the acidity of the grapes, which will balance their increasing sweetness during dehydration. 🍇
We then spread the clusters on the trellises, this year also hanging them from chains.
We let the wind and sun work on the grapes for almost two months. In addition to the dehydration process, endogenous enzymatic processes in the grapes themselves contributed to their complexity. 🌞 💨
On the first days of November, the grapes were taken off the trellises and de-stemmed by hand. 🖐

This seminar, Challenge of the Red Titans, was fun. It was held Friday afternoon and we had spent the week preceding with serious discussions of Italian wines. We deserved a dash of fun, but the seminar still provided us with valuable information about Italian red wines. We learned a bit about how the big Italian blockbuster wineries are reshaping themselves towards a more lyrical and uplifted…

the isidora family has been present in valparaíso region ever since they established their presence in the casablanca valley over 150 years ago, becoming one of the most influential families within her region that established one of the first wineries in the country ( they Rich Rich ). the isidora family is not a selfish one … their wealth has funded the beauty and prosperous aspect of what is the valley today and they keep on giving !
maximiliano is the second oldest of five children. his mother, carmen isidora, and his uncle, manuel, were co-owners ( and the ones that were fully committed to the making sure things remained organic on their vineyards and the best at making biodynamic wines ) of the winery until maximilano and his eldest sister were old enough to take on the mantle. his sister travels across the americas, doing business with various companies throughout the continents, while max remains in chile to be more hands-on with the winemaking process and overseeing the property and its happenings. his father and carmen’s third husband, martín esquivel, happily lived as a trophy husband for his wife he loves v much JSKLDJS he comes from a wealthy family in finances & investments, spent a lot of time painting with oils and watercolor that are displayed throughout the buildings
ANYWAY ! maximilano has lived a pretty privileged life … attended a catholic private school, went on fancy yacht trips & vacations across the globe, u know the gist
but tbh … he was ( still Is ) a bad boy. max often got in trouble despite being quite nonchalant and reserved at first glance. more often than not max was sitting in the principal’s office or the family lawyer had bailed him out of jail in santiago for a bar fight . hey, he never starts fights … just finishes them !!
if there is one thing max has that many trust fund babies lack these days, it’s ~PASSION~! ever since he was a little boy, he was often wandering the property, helping the workers of the winery or his mother while bugging them with 82930 questions. so he’s always known he’d be taking over the family business just … he just wanted to commit at his own pace, y’know? :P
eventually after a stern talking to by the elderly patriach of the isidora family who was approaching his finals years on this earth, max goes to college and receives an education in the science of winemaking and engineering of agronomics, and also some environmental studies. don’t be fooled by his Rich Party Boy facade he’s an ORGANIC FARMER NERD !!!! fully committed on making isidora wines innovative and sustainable 😤
maximilano is a bit of a celebrity across the valaparíso region, but doesn’t let it get to his head ( unlike some of his younger siblings who idek are doing these days ). at the same time u can see him working his butt off under the chilean sun, making sure his property is taken care of. maybe nick parker from the parent trap vibes ?? u know what i mean ??
