Catalino highlights the Garcés Silva family’s commitment to preserving Chile’s viticultural heritage in the Maule Valley. Inspired by the region’s old-vine vineyards and longstanding farming traditions, the project shifted from new plantings to the restoration and stewardship of historic País vineyards.
Harvested from vines over 100 years old, Catalino offers an authentic expression of Maule—showcasing both the character of the land and the legacy of its people.

DIEGO RIVERA, HEAD WINEMAKER
Diego started winemaking in 2010 after receiving his degree in agronomy and enology from the Chile’s Universidad Catolica. After graduation, he traveled abroad to experience making hard cider in England and work harvest and made wine in Burgundy the year after. He returned back to Chile to work for Viña Terranoble in Maule for three years and in 2015 went north to Leyda to work for Viña Garces Silva on the coast.
Diego is the Head Winemaker for both Amayna and Boya and loves the challenge of working with vines grown next to the Pacific Ocean. He believes Leyda is one of Chile’s most unique terroirs and has an amazing future in producing some of Chile’s finest wines.
