- 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. Established in 1934, the Chilean wine estate of De Martino is the result of one person’s dream of making the best wines of his region. Pietro de Martino, a native of Italy, moved to Chile to give wings to his dreams of making unique and stylish wines. He found his answer when he stepped foot in the region of Isla de Maipo. This place was rich in alluvial soils, and it enjoyed a Mediterranean climate, which helped De Martino to make his dream of creating elegant wines, a reality. Today, the estate is run by the fourth generation De Martino family members, with the same passion as the founder.
