Informationen zum Autor Alejandro Hernandez is a historian and wine writer. Klappentext The Cuirc, Maule, Itala, and Bo Valleys are the center of gravity of Chilean wine. Due to their particularly favorable geographic characteristics, this area has led the national production since the arrival of the first vines during colonial times. The wide range of soils and climatic diversity make it possible to create extraordinarily highquality wines, which have placed Chile among the greatest wine producing regions of the world. The wine industry in these valleys is very important for the regional economy and is an essential element in the traditions and social life of the people who live there. Just as the wineries are a key characteristic of the local landscape, they also play an integral role in defining regional identity. Authors Alejandro Hernandez and Yerko Moreno bring this mixed and beautiful world of old treasures and modern developments to life, alongside stirring photography of the Chilean landscape and its people.
