2012 Viognier, Falernia, Coquimbo, Chili, Elqui Valley
Viña Falernia was founded in 1997 by Aldo Olivier Gramola and his cousin, Giorgio Flessati, a seasoned winemaker from the Trentino region in Northern Italy. Located in the Elqui Valley, between La Serena and Vicuña, 470km to the north of Santiago, its 320 hectares are spread over three vineyard sites, and are Chile’s northernmost wine estate.
The brand new winery is completely equipped with state of the art technology. Underground cellars for barrel ageing (French and American) complete the set, along with the latest bottling plant facility. Sauvignon, Viognier, Syrah and Carmenère are all of world-beating quality as their regular successes at the Annual Wines of Chile Awards confirm.
Grapes come from the winery area (600 meters above the sea level), they were hand-picked into small bins, de-stemmed, crushed and cold macerated for 12 hours at low temperature, before pressing. The juice naturally clarified and fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. Aging in the fine lees for six months before bottling.
