Cremaschi Furlotti

Cremaschi Furlotti is a family-owned and managed winery in Chile's Loncomilla Valley. The family's winemaking tradition began in Italy, with an origin story that includes Angel Furlotti and the family's great-grandparents' arrival in America in 1889.

Its 400 hectares (1,000 acres) of vineyards include dry-farmed, low-yielding plantings over 80 years old. The grapes grown include Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Nebbiolo, Carignan, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. Vines generally use a simple vertical trellis and cane pruning, while in some cases spur pruning or pergola training is used, depending on the variety, soil and climate. Environmental care also guides production, which uses biodegradable and environmentally friendly inputs.
