CWW De Martino tastingwant to find in every wine an international wannabee, butwould rather come across a bit of individuality and naturalbeauty, it behoves us to speak out in favour of the winesthemselves as well as the winemakers and winery ownerswho take the decision not to bow to the pressures of fashion,but to follow their vision of what a wine should be.To give the last word to Marcelo: acknowledging that hecould not tell whether his new style would be commerciallysuccessful, but knowing it to be a better wine, he explainedhis gung-ho approach via the title of his favourite rock songby English metal band Iron Maiden: from the album Piece ofMind, If you’re gonna die, die with your boots on.Perhaps in his now-wilderness years he had beenlistening to a later album of theirs too much – Powerslave.Recommended wine: No surprises here, it’s the 2010vintage: De Martino Carménère Single Vineyard, Alto DePiedra 2010, Maipo ValleyLinks: De Martino - http://www.demartino.cl/web/My review of Chilean terroir and Vina Undurraga -http://cambridgewineblogger.blogspot.com/2009/11/insearch-of-terroir-chiles-vina.htmlChilean wine map via - http://starchefs.com/features/chilean-wines/images/Chilean-Wine-Map.jpgThis report first appeared on Tom’s blog:http://cambridgewineblogger.blogspot.com/2011/10/demartino-vertical-carmenere-tasting.html.Update is gratefulto him for allowing it to be reproduced here.Above, Marcelo; top left, the tasting room at the NavalClub, with on the screen are the clay fermenters where DeMartino’s new natural wine is made.Circle Update October 2011 12
