Tasting note Falernia Carmenère Reserva
Full-bodied Chilean wine with a beautiful aroma of oak-wood herbs and ripe forest fruits. The taste is full and aromatic. Beautiful wine with beef or veal or fragrant casseroles.
Description
Bodegas Falernia belongs to the Italians Aldo Olivier and Giorgio Flessati. They produce flawless wines in the northernmost wine-growing region of Chile. The Carménère reserva comes from hand-picked grapes that are harvested in June more than 2 months later than the other vineyards with carménère. Due to the longer ripening period the grapes dry and become so much more concentrated. The way of working betrays the Northern Italian origin of the winemakers because this 'appasimento' method is frequently used in Valpolicella. After fermentation, the wine ages 6 to 8 months in top quality wooden barrels of American origin. The result is a particularly full-bodied red wine with soft tannins.
