Single Vineyard

2006 Maule Valley Carignan

The De Martino Single Vineyard Carignan from the 2006 vintage is an exquisite representation of the Maule Valley, showcasing the region's unique terroir. This full-bodied red wine captivates with its rich, ruby hue that hints at its depth and complexity. On the palate, it possesses high acidity, delivering a refreshing lift while counterbalancing the pronounced fruit intensity that features dark cherries and blackcurrants. The tannins are notably structured, providing a firm backbone that enhances the wine's aging potential. With its beautifully integrated flavors, the De Martino Carignan is a dry yet luscious wine, making it an exceptional choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own. This wine truly embodies the essence of its location, reflecting the craftsmanship of the De Martino family.

When it comes to well-balanced reds of great value, Chile's Maule Valley is hard to beat. The southernmost part of Chile's Central Valley, Maule is a large sub-region with many microclimates and soil types. The Maule River and the nearby Pacific Ocean both greatly influence its climate. Maule was one of the first places in Chile planted with grapevines. It is famed today for its 100-year-old Carignan vines and the densely sumptuous wines they produce. More typical, however, are its powerful Cabernet Sauvignon, spicy aromatic Carménère and plush Merlot reds. For whites, check out Maule's cheery Sauvignon Blanc and rounded Chardonnay. Chile’s Denominación de Origen (DO) classification system focuses on separating wines by the physical location of origin. To use the DO classification on a label, a producer must have pulled 85 percent of the fruit used in a wine from a defined regional location. The DO system names wine regions in the country from north to south.
