The Story
De Martino Legado Carmenere comes from 28+ year-old vines at the Santa Inés vineyard in Isla de Maipo. Hand-harvested and vinified with ambient yeasts, it undergoes cold soak, fermentation, and extended maceration before aging in a mix of used French barrels and large foudres. The result is a vibrant, medium-bodied red with ripe fruit, peppery spice, and soft tannins—an elegant, site-driven expression of Carmenere from one of Chile’s most historic producers.
About De Martino
Producer Story
Founded in 1934, De Martino is a fourth-generation, family-run winery redefining Chilean terroir through sustainable farming and traditional methods. Led by Marco Antonio and Sebastián De Martino, the estate sources from diverse regions—from gravel soils in Maipo to ancient bush vines in Itata—to craft pure, expressive wines with a clear sense of place. As pioneers of Carmenere and champions of old-vine heritage, De Martino balances innovation and history across a dynamic portfolio that spans crisp coastal whites to structured reds and field blends—all under the thoughtful hand of winemaker Nicolás Pérez.
