Rather than purchasing or planting their own vineyards, Paula and Arnaldo work directly with local growers who tend small, centenarian plots of País and Cinsault across the Itata and Bío Bío valleys, paying fair prices and helping guide the transition to organic farming — an approach built on fair trade and mutual benefit for the region's long-time growers.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paula Chodin Param and Arnaldo Batista.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFARMING:\u003c\/strong\u003e Organically farmed, dry-farmed vines; no certifying body is named on producer or importer materials, so this is described as organic practice rather than certification, pending confirmation.
