EPU by Almaviva 2022

CHF 39.90 (75cl)

Colour

A beautiful dark ruby red, lively and attractive.

Nose

Fresh, pleasant and elegant, with aromas of blackcurrant, cherry, blackberry and fig, dominating a delicate fragrance of vanilla, tea and earthy notes.

Palate

The attack is supple and round, well balanced between crisp red fruits and a silky tannic structure.

Wine-growing terroir

La Viña Almaviva is located in Puente Alto in the highest part of the Maipo Valley. Its soils, rocky and poor, are made up of silty clay. The subsoil consists of sand, gravel and rock. These alluvial soils allow good drainage and provide beautiful minerality, as well as a low pH level. The result is extraordinary quality, balance and elegance.

Winemaking

Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels.

Bottle closure

Cork

Packaging

Wooden box

Viña Almaviva

In 1997, Baroness Philippine de Rothschild and Don Alfonso Larraín, president of Concha y Toro, signed a partnership agreement to create a great Franco-Chilean wine that they called “Almaviva”. The estate includes a mansion, a bodega and a 50 hectare vineyard planted with three typically Bordeaux grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Carmenère. The name Almaviva was borrowed from classical French literature: Count Almaviva is the hero of Beaumarchais' famous play The Marriage of Figaro and also pays homage to the ancestral history of Chile with the reproduction of a drawing symbolic of the Mapuche civilization.
