An older southern landscape
- Location: South of Maule, mainly in today’s Ñuble region, Itata has a long vineyard history. Coastal hills and inland sites receive more rain and generally less heat than the central red-wine heartland.
- Traditional vines: Documented old vineyards include free-standing bush vines grown without irrigation. Granitic soils occur at sites such as Guarilihue; the whole valley is more varied.
