People Every member of the Trivento team is capable of making decisions and solving problems. Activities that enable all personnel on-going instruction contribute to continual improvements in all productive processes. Tending to the requirements of each variety and terrain, viticultural practices are handled with particular care. Winemakers only finish their tasks in the vineyards once grapes taste ripe enough to harvest. Well trained staff handle grape reception at the cellar and then ensure the vinification processes meet rigorous quality standards. They, along with the sales, marketing and administrative staff form the core at Trivento. Leslie Sbrocco interviews our very own Federico Galdeano during his last visit here in the United States.

In January 2001, he was appointed head of Concha y Toro's project in Argentina and became its General Manager, thus taking up the challenge to oversee continued improvement in the quality of our Trivento wines.

"Deciding just when to harvest is crucial. Maturity determines aroma, the alcohol content, tannins, acidity, balance and the very particular personality of Argentine wines" Federico Galdeano
