MARIO PABLO SILVA, CEO
Mario Pablo Silva was born and raised in a family dedicated to winemaking; the Silva family lived in the Colchagua countryside surrounded by vines, horses, and nature. Some of his fondest memories are summer evenings riding horses in the vineyard with his dad, grandfather, and great-grandfather, playing hide and seek in the old wine cellar, and long talks about wine on Sundays.
He is a commercial engineer by trade but since he grew up on a vineyard, he has a deep level of winemaking knowledge from his grandparents and father. His family pioneered grape growing in the Colchagua valley with the first vineyards in 1892. Their cellar is the oldest in the valley.
