One of Chile’s most emblematic grape varieties, the Casas del Bosque Carmenere is sourced from one of the best terroirs for this variety, Almahue in the Rapel Valley, a place that provides the ideal climate and soil for the perfect ripening of this grape variety, giving elegant, fruity reds with soft tannins.

This is a lively and vibrant wine with notes of tobacco and spices. On the nose the fruitand tobacco leaf notes blend well with aromas of roasted coffee and cocoa. Plush and voluptuous in the mouth with rich, ripe fruit and soft, velvety tannins.

Casas del Bosque

The Cuneo family, (originally from Italy), founded Casas del Bosque in 1993 in the Casablanca Valley, 70 kilometres from Santiago, the capital of Chile, and 40 kilometres from the port of Valparaiso (UNESCO World Heritage Site). The large and ancient forests of pine and olive trees, and small white adobe houses, gave rise to the name “Casas del Bosqueâ€? meaning “forest housesâ€?

Today the estate covers 153,64 hectares of vineyard in the Casablanca Valley, dedicated exclusively to the production of cool climate varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Noir and Syrah, with a focus on sustainable viticulture. Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere come from carefully managed vineyards in Maipo, Colchagua and Cachapoal.

Chief Winemaker Alberto Guolo is originally from Monselice, Italy. After graduating from the University of Padua, he continued his studies of viticulture and vinification, working in wineries in Italy, New Zealand and California. He joined the winemaking team at Casas del Bosque in 2017 and in 2023 was awarded “Young Winemaker of the Yearâ€?by the CAV. In addition to his tireless work at Casas del Bosque, Alberto owns a winery founded by his grandfather, in the Veneto region of Italy, producing a diverse array of mainly indigenous varieties including Prosecco.

Recognised internationally as one of the most prestigious wineries in the Casablanca Valley, Casas del Bosque have been repeatedly ranked as one of the best vineyards to visit in the world and welcome thousands of tourists every month to their award-winning estate and restaurants.
