This De Martino Alto Limávida, Malbec blend of D.O. Maule, has been cultivated in a mild Mediterranean climate. The vineyard size is of 2.3 hectares (5.6 acres) and it is located within the coastal mountain range of the Maule Valley and was planted in 1945. Sitting atop pure granite soils, these non-grafted vines are dry farmed and head trained. De Martino “Limavida” Single Vineyard Old Vines Field Blend is created from 85% Malbec, 7.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7.5% Carménère; offering intense aromas of violets and notes of aniseed combine with red fruits followed by hints of licorice and smoky undertones. A nuance of citrus and orange peel develops overtime. The rich acidity is balanced by fine tannins on the long finish. Enjoy with grilled steaks, lamb chops, hearty pasta dishes, or stews.
