Description

Discover the DE MARTINO VIGNO CARIGNAN 2016, a standout Chilean red wine that captures the rugged spirit of its homeland. Crafted by the De Martino family since 1934 in Isla de Maipo, this Carignan leads a field blend from the esteemed Old Vines series, drawing directly from the unique personality of its single vineyard, La Aguada—though the label keeps that detail understated for this vintage.

Picture a bright ruby hue pouring into your glass, releasing waves of intense aromas: ripe black cherries and blackberries mingle with a distinctive mineral smoky edge. On the palate, it delivers fresh, juicy acidity that dances alongside ripe fruit flavors, supported by firm, fine-grained tannins. This medium-bodied red stretches out with impressive length, layering intensity and complexity that lingers long after the sip.

Critics rave, with Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarding it 97 points, praising its spectacular profile. The nose weaves smoked bacon, wildflowers, and berries with earthy tree bark tones, striking a rare balance of power and elegance. Granite soils impart strong minerality and austere, serious tannins, elevating it among Chile's finest expressions. De Martino continues to lead with quality, exploring regions like Itata since 2011 and venturing into Malleco Valley.

Only 6,439 bottles emerged in April 2018, making this a collector's gem for those who appreciate varietal purity and precision. Whether pairing with grilled meats or savoring solo, the DE MARTINO VIGNO CARIGNAN 2016 promises an unforgettable journey through Chile's winemaking heritage. Secure your bottle of this limited Chilean Carignan red wine today and elevate your collection with its elegant power.
