The De Martino family has been producing wine in Chile’s
famous Maipo Valley for almost 70 years. The wines reflect the
area’s terroir, resulting in big, rich, extracted
flavor. Delicate use of oak adds complexity, but the strength
of De Martino wines is in their fruit. These wines are concentrated
and elegant, each with a distinctive personality. The winery
has received a flurry of recognition from Chile’s most
prestigious wine guide, the 2004 Guia de Vinos de Chile,
which singled out De Martino winemaker Marcelo Retamal as “Winemaker
of the Year” and named the Legado Sauvignon Blanc, Legado
Carmenere and Gran Familia Cabernet Sauvignon as the top wines
in their categories.

Organic
Wines
From the pruning to the harvest, De Martino’s
organic wines are
produced under the auspices of the Organic Management Program,
certified by BCS Oko-Garantie. The organic grapes, which are
grown in their own Isla de Maipo estate on the De Martino property,
have permanent green cover crops between rows to facilitate
biodiversity in the vineyard. The hand-picked grapes are fermented
in their own yeasts and require a minimum of sulfur. DeMartino
first began producing organic wines in 1991.
