De Martino
The De Martino family has been producing wine in Chile's famous Maipo Valley for almost 70 years. The wines reflect the area’s terroir resulting in big rich extracted flavor. Delicate use of oak adds complexity but the strength of De Martino wines is in their fruit. These wines are concentrated and elegant each with a distinctive personality. The winery has received a flurry of recognition from Chile’s most prestigious wine guide. The 2004 Guia de Vinos de Chile singled out De Martino winemaker Marcelo Retamal as Winemaker of the Year and named the Legado Sauvignon Blanc Legado Carmenere and Gran Familia Cabernet Sauvignon as the top wines in their categories.
Description
"Dark aromas of violet, black cherry, plum and wet clay lead to a flush, well-balanced palate. This amphorae-fermented-and-aged Cinsault from Itata tastes decidedly natural, with an abundance of pure plum, currant and cherry fruit. The finish is bright and lively as well." WE
Food Pairing
Ideal with white meat, charcuterie and lighter food.
