Description
Still red from the Maule Valley, Chile, 14% ABV, produced by Erasmo. Blend: 60% Barbera, 30% Garnacha, 10% Carignano. 0.75 L bottle, 2019 vintage. A wine that celebrates the history and tradition of Chile's oldest winemaking region. Erasmo is the name of a local farmer who helped us understand the uniqueness of the ancient land of Caliboro. The grapes were handpicked and selected in early April. Fifty percent of the blend underwent alcoholic fermentation with the varietals blended together, and the other 50% in separate batches, all in stainless steel. Wild yeasts and short maceration were used. In June, the varietals were blended and then stabilized by exposing the wine to cold winter temperatures for a month and a half. The wine was filtered at the end of winter and then bottled. Intense and harmonious aromas, accompanied by hints of berries, sweet chocolate, and spices. Youthful, fresh taste, with soft, ripe tannins, a persistent fruitiness, and a medium, balanced body. A hint of sweetness in the long-lasting aftertaste.
