Chile
Region:Itata Valley
Itata is a cool, mountainous region with granite soils that are rich in minerals, and old dry-farmed vineyards. Although the first vines were planted here in 1551, wines from this region have only started to find interest on an international level within the last 10 years. Luckily for us, the De Martino family have long extolled the virtues of this hidden Chilean gem, using their family-owned vineyards to create delicious wines such as this old vine Muscat.
The Winemaker The Winemaker
Nicolás Peréz
Nicolás Peréz works alongside the fourth generation of the De Martino family. Although he grew up in Santiago, Chile, during his teenage years he travelled constantly to Chilean Patagonia, where he worked on the culinary project of one of his brothers. This is where he first came into contact with the world of wine, getting to know the different producers that were operating at that time. This experience was key to his decision, at the young age of 14, to become a winemaker. From that moment on, this goal was central to all the decisions he took about his life and studies. Despite his youth, he has gained substantial experience working in different international wineries in California and Australia, before returning to his home of Chile.
At De Martino, the winemaking philosophy is based on minimal intervention on single vineyards, including sustainable farming and traditional winemaking methods. Wines are crafted with native yeast, balanced in alcohol and moderate oak (when needed) to preserve the essence of the vineyards. De Martino is proud to be the first producer to bottle single-varietal Carménère in Chile, the first South American Carbon Neutral winery, Chilean Wine Producer of the Year in 2005 & 2009 by IWSC and Chilean Winery of the Year.
"We have pioneered working in century-old vineyards in the Itata Valley, incorporating traditional winemaking techniques that set a precedent in the industry." - Nicolás Peréz, Winemaker.
