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.
