*** Marcelo Retamal among the most renowned winemakers of the world according to Decanter, having been listed in the top ten winemakers in the world in 2016 ***
De Martino was founded in 1934 by Pietro De Martino Pascualone, who arrived to Chile from Italy in search of a place to satisfy his passion for winemaking. De Martino is one of the most progressive and exciting names on the Chilean wine scene, it has quickly built up a reputation for organic viticulture of the highest quality, farming from over 350 different vineyards. Chief Winemaker, Marcelo Retamal who was named as the 13th most influential winemaker in the world and best of Latin America - Decanter, June15 does a huge amount of work finding site-specific vineyards best suited to specific grape varieties. His work with the use of Viejas Tinajas (old earthenware jars) with the Muscat and Cinsault from Itata are terrific.
Legado Reserva Range:
The Legado Reserva range, produced in the most renowned valleys in Chile, uses grapes which can come from one or more vineyard from the same destination of origin. Through this range, we look to express the essence and individual characteristics which give each label a unique sense of origin. Legado Reserva is fermented using only native yeast and wine additives are scarcely used during the fermentation process, just small amounts of sulfur dioxide.
