Marcio Ramírez
With a degree in Enology from the Universidad de Chile, Marcio joined Concha y Toro in 1997. From 1998 to 2000 he worked with Enrique Tirado at the Puente Alto winery as an assistant winemaker for Don Melchor before moving to the Cachapoal winery in the Rapel Valley, where he is now head winemaker.
In 2002 and 2003 he participated in crushes at Château Mouton Rothschild in Pauillac, Médoc, France and at Castello Banfi in Montalcino, Italy. Marcio was asked to be one of the winemakers for the Gran Reserva Serie Riberas, Concha y Toro’s Super Premium line of wines because of his extensive knowledge and experience with red varieties. He is responsible for making the Carmenere, Malbec, and Cabernet Sauvignon, all varieties he has certainly specialized in and likes to work with most.
Furthermore, his great commitment and professionalism have led Marcio to work with the enological team that produces the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot varieties at Fetzer Vineyards in California.
