LACRE --CASA VERDI
In 1918 Aniceto Verdi arrived in Chile from his native Italy with the intention of fulfilling a lifelong dream, to cultivate grapes, and produce wines. This dream was the principal reason for his voyage to Chile, a country that even in those years, was already known for the quality of its soil, its temperate climate, and excellent wine. Once in Chile, Aniceto chose to settle with his family in Chile´s Central valley and within a short time Aniceto was producing and selling wine from his home, in unlabelled bottles. But all around were familiar with his wines known as Casa Verdi.
In 2004 the Manríquez and Verdi families decided to join forces and once again produce Casa Verdi wines. They created a cooperative of small wine producers in the Curicó and Maule valleys focused exclusively on the production of high quality wines for the international market. In 2007 the Combes and Ossandon families joined the company, bringing international marketing experience to Casa Verdi and strong support in the opening of new markets
