Chilean Itata Valley wine export expansion

Overview

Small-scale and associative family wineries in Chile’s Itata Valley have been pursuing international market expansion, focusing on heritage grape varieties like País and Moscatel. This movement, supported by the Institute for Agricultural Development (INDAP), includes cooperatives such as the Empresa Asociativa Campesina Moscin, which successfully exported products to Sweden.

By 2026, producers in the Ñuble Region intensified these efforts to combat a broader downturn in the Chilean viticulture sector, which saw a 13.2% decrease in export volume and a 9.7% decrease in value during the first half of the year. To address low grape prices and high inventory levels, regional wineries participated in trade events like Chile Wine Day in Mexico City to connect with importers. Additionally, the Ñuble Regional Wine Table has been coordinating efforts between winemakers and public institutions to focus on market opening, innovation, and improved traceability.
