Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The color is brilliant and deep while the nose is very intense and fruity with vanilla and chocolate notes. On the palate, the wine shows incredible softness and body.

Pairs well with meats and cheeses

    Last year, I didn't understand anything about the previous vintage of the 2015 Carmenere Reserva because it's done in the style of an Amarone: the grapes were harvested two months later than normal, and the wine retained some seven grams of residual sugar. This time, I tasted the wines with winemaker Giorgio Flessati, and he explained it to me; it's also explained on the back label. There are no herbal or green notes, and there are no raisened flavors either. But, it's an acquired taste... 114,000 bottles produced.

Falernia  Winery Image

In 1951 Aldo Olivier Granola’s family moved to Chile and in 1971 he started planting grapevines for Pisco production. Around that time Aldo became convinced of the potential for producing superb wines in this semiarid valley. The Falernia project was born after he and his cousin Giorgio Flessati, famed Italian oenologist, joined forces. Falernia is an innovative venture given that it is Chile’s most northerly wine estate, a considerable distance from the country’s main winegrowing areas. The driving force has been a passion for the wine and the challenge of transforming a tract of desert into a green vineyard with enormous potential for producing premium wines. They use the latest technology and have the support of agronomists from Chile’s top universities and worldrenowned oenologists.

Dark, full-bodied and herbaceous with a spicy kick, Carménère found great success with its move to Chile in the mid-19th century. However, the variety went a bit undercover until 1994 when many plantings previously thought to be Merlot, were profiled as Carménère. Somm Secret— Carménère is both a progeny and a great-grandchild of the similarly flavored Cabernet Franc.

Part of the Coquimbo region, also with the Limari Valley, Elqui Valley is one of the northern wine producing regions of Chile, which historically focused on table grapes and pisco production. Intense sunlight and cooling effects of the ocean, together with rocky, clay soil make this one of Chile’s up-and-coming wine regions.
