Region:Maipo Valley
The Armida symbolises the long journey which De Martino embarked upon in 1996, giving birth to the first varietally labelled Carménère in Chile and making a commitment to expressing the full potential of this very special grape. This glorious red is a deep and intense colour and reveals aromatic layers of spices, black pepper and black fruit in which the notes of oak and leather from the ageing are perfectly integrated. In the mouth, it is medium-bodied and intensely fruity with a silky texture and very fine tannins that are beautifully balanced with the fresh acidity. With a very long finish, this wine is reaching its maturity and demonstrating all of its great potential.
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 personally selected this wine from the family cellar because we believe that it has reached its full potential and is ready to be enjoyed. The 2011 vintage was of superb quality. Summer and autumn were cooler than average and free from rain, which meant that we could achieve very harmonious fruit and tannin ripeness. This was also the first vintage in which we used 35-hectolitre Austrian foudres to age this wine for 24 months." - Nicolás Peréz, Winemaker.
