Product Notes

The De Martino Single Vineyard Carmenere 'Alto de Piedras' is an opulent Chilean wine, boasting lively notes of blackberries, blueberries, spices, and a smoky mineral touch. It's a full-bodied, complex offering, sourced from fifty-year-old vines that lend depth and character. It undergoes fermentation with native yeasts and ageing in neutral vessels to contribute a delectable freshness without overwhelming oakiness. Vibrant acidity and sturdy tannins lead to a sublime finish. This Carmenere is a powerful, rich embodiment of the highest quality vineyards in Chile, capturing the unadulterated essence of its terroir. An absolute treat for hallowed gatherings and cozy dinners alike.

Tasting Notes

This wine has fresh aromas of spices, pepper, ripe black fruit and a mineral hint with notes of graphite. In the mouth, it is medium-bodied with intense, ripe fruit. It has a silky-smooth texture, balanced by elegant tannins and fresh acidity. It has depth and weight in the mouth, along with a very long finish. This wine can be enjoyed while still youthful, but it has sufficient structure to develop greater complexity over the next 15-20 years.
