Ep. 2415 Giulia Stocchetti interviews Claudia Bustos from Viña Raíz Criolla | Next Generation

Welcome to the Next Generation and Episode 2415 of the Italian Wine Podcast. Today, Giulia Stocchetti interviews Claudia Bustos from Viña Raíz Criolla in Chile. More about today’s guest: Claudia Bustos, a Chilean winemaker, has been immersed in the world of wine from a very young age, influenced by her father, Patricio Bustos, a winemaker himself. The profession had traditionally been passed down through the men in her family, reaching its fifth generation with Claudia. Captivated by this heritage, she chose to dedicate herself fully to the craft after graduating from university, joining her father at Viña Raíz Criolla — a small family winery committed to environmental stewardship and honoring the traditions of its land. Viña Raíz Criolla is a Chilean winery located in Portezuelo, specializing in traditional, handcrafted wines made from old-vine País and Moscatel de Alejandría grapes. They focus on minimal intervention winemaking, using native yeasts and emphasizing the terroir of their vineyards. Their portfolio includes red País wine, white Moscatel de Alejandría, a Moscatel Late Harvest, and a sweet red País wine.
