De Martino Cabernet Sauvignon
Country: Chile Region: Central Valley
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage: 2022 Colour: Red Style: Dry
Producer: De Martino
Description:
De Martino was founded in 1934 by Pietro De Martino Pascualone, who arrived to Chile from Italy in search of a place to satisfy his passion for winemaking. The property has grown tremendously since Don Pietro founded it so many years ago. It now has 300 organically managed hectares planted to vine and still maintains its sense of being a family winery.
The third and fourth generations of the De Martino family now work in the winery. Today, more than 80 years after it began, the winery maintains its dynamism, family tradition, and the adventurous, pioneering spirit of the De Martino family. De Martino has become the first winery in South America that is carbon neutral.
Tasting Note:
This Cabernet Sauvignon shows ripe fruit aromatics including blackcurrant, blueberries and cassis combined with a slight tobacco leaf note. The palate is fresh with clear fruit definition; fine-grained tannins and balanced acidity lead to a long lingering finish. An excellent accompaniment to grilled or roasted meat and game dishes. It also pairs well with tomato-based pasta dishes and pizza.
