If you had wondered whether Almaviva had a Mozartean connection, any doubts would be dismissed on arriving at the home page of the Website, as the music was none other than the overture to the Marriage of Figaro. The wine label has 3 copies of a stylized design from Chile's heritage, a design which represents the vision of earth and the cosmos in the Mapuche civilization, and which was found on a ritual drum from that culture.
The name Almaviva came originally from Beaumarchais' play which was the inspiration of Mozart's opera. The label also has the name Almaviva reproduced in Beaumarchais' handwriting.
