De Martino 2018 Carmenere Alto de Piedras 750ml

The spicier 2018 Single Vineyard Alto de Piedras has notes of Carmenere with good ripeness, which translates into more aromas, good purity and freshness, with a touch of paprika and red pepper, very fine tannins and a velvety texture with some chalky tannins. This is the opposite of the 2017—they harvested late after a long and slow ripening, when the grapes had the chance to develop their full aromatic and taste profile.
