Introduction:
A distinctive and character-driven red from Chile’s Itata Valley, this wine showcases the rustic appeal and purity of the País grape. With careful craftsmanship, it brings out transparent fruit nuances and regional finesse.

Terrior:
Grown in old-vine bush-trained vineyards on granite and clay soils in Itata—Chile's most coastal and cool southern wine region—the vines benefit from sea breezes, poor soils, and moderate temperatures. These factors combine to yield low yields, natural acidity, and expressive terroir purity.

Appearance:
Translucent garnet with bright rim highlights and clear varietal purity.

Nose:
Delicately aromatic, offering notes of wild strawberry, red cherry, fresh cranberry, and dried hibiscus. Subtle earthy hints of wet stone, cedar bark, and a floral perfume reminiscent of rosehip tea emerge with gentle aeration.

Palate:
Light-bodied and silky, with vibrant red berry flavors—cherry, raspberry, and pomegranate—balanced by citrus-laced acidity. A touch of white pepper, fresh herbs, and granite-derived mineral tension adds complexity, while fine tannins lend a gentle structure.

Finish:
Clean and lingering with red fruit echoing the nose, complemented by floral brightness and soft mineral persistence that carries the finish.

Overall Impression:
This "Granito" País is a compelling example of Itata Valley’s traditional grape, presenting transparent fruit, refreshing acidity, and terroir-driven clarity. Elegant and food-friendly, it pairs beautifully with charcuterie, grilled seafood, or vegetable dishes and is delightful served slightly chilled.
