Expert Reviews
The 2022 La Piu Belle was born in 2011 after the producer realized part of its property offered a completely unique flavor of Carménère. Thus, a new blend based on Carménère was born, named “the most beautiful” and adorned with art. This vintage has 81% Carménère, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Syrah, the other varieties able to tamp down Carménère’s greener tendencies. Blackberry, oak spice, and midpalate volume give it a medium-bodied concentration that never feels heavy, while well-integrated tannins help to lengthen the layers. Spending 20 months in French oak, with 19% in Barroir barrels from the property, the wine has a gorgeous texture of energy, tension, and juicy cassis, with a hint of graphite and dust lingering on the finish. This could easily age another 20 years, if not longer, with an ideal drinking window of 2032-2040.
