Pais Volcanico

A Los Viñateros Bravos · Itata, Chile

Delicate underbrush aromas of Itata’s wild grass, red fruits, and hints of cassis. A fresh wine, delicate, marked by fine-grain tannins that give a very unique structure to this wine with a distinctive mineral character from the volcanic soils.
