From old vineyards planted in 1932 on a land layered with clay, sand and pebbles. The most structured of all Chacra’s wines, spending 24 months in barrel and made to age.
”Red cherries, strawberries, spiced plums, violets, cloves, dried herbs, undergrowth and a touch of smoke on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with firm, tight-grained tannins. Firm, mineral and tea-like tannin quality. Very focused and structured. Needs time.” - James Suckling
Piero Incisa della Rocchetta is the grandson of the aristocratic winemaking family behind Tuscany's groundbreaking Sassicaia. In 2004 Piero heard whispers of an abandoned Pinot Noir vineyard in Patagonia, originally planted in 1932. And so, began what is now Bodega Chacra. Organic & biodynamic certified, located in the Rio Negro Valley of northern Patagonia. Since 2017, Piero has been working with famed burgundy wine-maker JM Roulot to produce Chardonnay in Patagonia to great acclaim. Fruit is hand harvested, fermented in concrete, transferred by gravity, created without fining or filtration in order to produce wines with transparency.
