WINE DESCRIPTION
Almaviva is an iconic Chilean red blend from Central Valley. It is a collaboration between Baron Philippe de Rothschild and the Chilean Concha y Toro family, and is an expression of the best of both worlds. This deep, complex blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Merlot is aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels and delivers an intense, multi-layered nose of blackberries, spice, and tobacco. On the palate, this full-bodied wine has ripe tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, savory finish. Enjoy it with roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Almaviva Almaviva is a deep and complex red wine, with aromas of blackberry, black cherry and violet.On the palate, it is full-bodied with a fine balance between tannins and acidity. The flavors of black fruits, spices and toasted oak are persistent and intense. The finish is long and velvety, with a hint of pepper. This is an exceptional Chilean red that will reward with its complexity and finesse.
