DE MARTINO VIGNO CARIGNAN 750 ml

Discover the De Martino Vigno Carignan, a Chilean red wine that captures the essence of its roots through generations of family dedication. From the Itata Valley, this Carignan stands out as a testament to a legacy that began in 1934, where sustainable farming meets time-honored winemaking to honor each vineyard's unique voice. The De Martino story weaves together the wisdom of third-generation members Pietro, Marco, and Remo with the fresh energy of fourth-generation Marco Antonio and Sebastián. Their trailblazing spirit first shone in 1996 with Chile's inaugural exported Carmenere, followed by reviving ancient vineyards in Itata—reviving techniques that reshaped winemaking across South America. Pour a glass and greet its bright ruby hue, alive with vivid intensity. Scents rise of ripe black cherries and blackberries, laced with a smoky mineral edge that hints at the land's secrets. On the palate, it dances with fresh, juicy acidity that lifts flavors of ripe fruit, balanced by firm, fine-grained tannins. This medium-bodied gem lingers with impressive length, depth, and layers that unfold over time. Ideal for those evenings when you crave a wine that tells a story with every sip, the De Martino Vigno Carignan pairs effortlessly with grilled meats or robust cheeses, inviting reflection on its Chilean heritage. At 14% ABV and in a standard 750 ml bottle, it delivers value at $50.82, perfect for stocking your collection or sharing with friends who appreciate authenticity. Elevate your table with this Carignan from Chile's pioneering De Martino family—a bottle where tradition fuels vibrancy, and every pour echoes the valley's rugged beauty.
