The Wine The Wine
Chile
Region:Itata Valley
De Martino are one of the most respected and progressive wineries in Chile. They've recently acquired some stunning vineyards in Chile's Itata. One of the oldest in this narrow country, first planted way back in the 1550s. A southerly area that is heavily influenced by its close proximity to the Pacific and a strange lack of protection by coastal ranges and the Andes leave it open to cooler wetter conditions. A natural, wonderfully drinkable red.
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.
"Pale violet red. The nose is intense, with notes of red fruit, raspberry and cherry. The palate is light, very soft with high acidity, where raspberry notes again appear." Nicolas Perez, Winemaker.
