exports of Chilean wines. These agreements have focused on reducing tariff<br />
barriers and clarifying trade parameters, with the aim of facilitating access and<br />
presence in different markets”.<br />
CREMASCHI FURLOTTI,<br />
95% OF PRODUCTION SHIPPED OVERSEAS<br />
“Chile is a small, low-consumption country, so we have an export culture”. This<br />
is how Sebastián Cremaschi, CEO of the Cremaschi Furlotti winery, located in<br />
Loncomilla Valley, defines the philosophy of Chilean winemaking.<br />
His family has always been a world traveller. They first emigrated from Italy<br />
to Argentina in 1899, and from there to Chile in the 1970s. With their project<br />
consolidated, they began to export bottled wine in the mid-1990s. Cremaschi<br />
Furlotti now reaches more than 40 countries, and exports account for more than<br />
95% of its production. “Chile is a small and highly concentrated market,” says<br />
Cremaschi. “Most of our wineries export more than 80% of their production”.<br />
