Leo Erazo Hombre en Llamas

A Los Viñateros Bravos · Itata, Chile

The cold climate and the fact that the vineyard is located at the top of the Itata hills have a big impact on shaping this wine.  Full of character, vibrancy and complexity with textural tannins,  it is a must try for those looking to taste a different expression of Carignan. Fresh and herbaceous with notes of black fruits.
