Description: The Piu Belle 2018 elegantly shows the new face of Carmenere. An intense, complex wine with a bouquet that transports you to the native forest of VIK’s terroir. Here the fresh notes and damp earth reveal an unfamiliar side of Carmenere, which, along with its pleasant freshness, can offer many layers of fine, well-balanced aromas, like fresh, ripe fruit, with notes of blackberries,
prunes, blueberries and forest fruits. The Cabernet Sauvignon joins in with strawberries and raspberries, which combine with the cassis and floral notes of the Syrah to stimulate the mind. Finally, a layer of nutty notes like almonds is complemented by hints of black and white pepper and subtle notes of coffee from the French oak barrels Rich with ideas, complex and elegant and redolent with outstanding freshness in the mouth, with perfect, beautifully balanced acidity. This is a nervous and dynamic wine with very soft, rounded and subtle tannins that have created a firm-bodied structure with a long and pleasant finish. This intriguing combination expresses the spirit of the new world imparting a memory that lasts a lifetime. Serving temperature: 16ºC .
