A filmmaker in love with Spain and a family dedicated to wine for four generations have produced a great documentary.
The winemaking process, but especially the tradition surrounding it, called the attention of the British film director, Zev Robinson, who has made a documentary called "Return to wine what wine has given us."
The film stars members Vivanco Bodega Dynasty (Briones, La Rioja) and wants to show the side "more human" Spanish wine culture. The documentary premiered yesterday at the Instituto Cervantes in New York attended by the director himself and the president of the Association for the Development of Tourism and Culture (ACTE) and member of the winery, Rafael Vivanco.

Vivanco explained "the director found when our family walked the vineyards of Spain and Portugal, and liked our spirit, especially the phrase that my father both repeats:" We must return to wine what wine has given us", said Vivanco. way, the documentary is the result of the 230 hours of footage that the director collected over several years in which he had the opportunity of visiting twenty Spanish vineyards.
Through interviews with different generations of Vivanco and workers who grow the grapes, Robinson managed to capture on film the relationship between the two, which considers the true essence of the wine culture. "In addition to selling the wine we have to sell their culture, because the Spanish wine occupies a very small space internationally. Known we sell well and now we have to take a gap on the outside", said Vivanco. "America, the third importer of wine worldwide, presents as the trump card in the future to explore export," he added.
This is not the first project that Rafael made to meet the wishes of his father. In his village, Briones, alongside the spectacular wineries rises Dynasty Vivanco Wine Museum opened in 2004. The origins of this family winemakers dating back to 1915 and currently participates in the hold and the fourth generation.
I hope that it has been interesting for you.
