Itata has to be one of our favourite regions going right now. And Cinsault is an under-the-radar candidate for one of our favourite grape varieties.
First up, Cinsault its light, floral, easy to drink, and has lovely up-front fruit and sumptuous texture. When you combine this natural quality of the grape with the ancient vineyards of Itata and the regions incredible soils, you get something rather special.
Las Curvas is a single vineyard planted in 1940 on Granite soils. Its pure, with light grainy tannin, and mineral and earthy notes underneath pretty red fruits. The wines are made very simply they are pressed, fermented naturally in concrete vessels and bottled without filtration.
Leonardo Erazo studied winemaking in Chile, but then spent a decade working in various regions around the world before returning home to start the A los Vinateros Project.
