About Valle de Curicó

Where it grows

In central Chile around Curicó, with the northern Teno and southern Lontué wine zones.

Curicó is a major subregion within the Central Valley. River systems, alluvial soils and the contrast between Andean and coastal-facing sites create varied growing settings. Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay offer white-wine introductions; Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and smaller old-vine parcels provide red alternatives. Molina, Sagrada Familia, Romeral and Rauco make the origin more specific. A familiar brand named after a town may draw grapes from other valleys.
