DESCRIPTION
CO CO PA Torontel 2021 comes from a small 0.5 ha vineyard located in Magdalena Alto, Coelemu, in the Itata Valley, 28 km from the Pacific Ocean. Grown on trellis systems on a steep hillside of the coastal range, without irrigation and on own roots, on sandy-clay soils of granitic origin with the presence of quartz. The grapes are whole-cluster pressed, then fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged for 12 months on the lees before 5 months in the bottle. Production limited to 2,815 bottles. CO CO PA is an artisanal project dedicated to the traditional grape varieties of the Itata Valley, one of Chile's oldest wine-growing regions. The vines, unirrigated and ungrafted on granitic soils, are cultivated on the slopes of the coastal range in Itata. Limited bottle productions to preserve the authenticity and expression of the terroir.
On the nose, aromas of white fruits (pear, green apple, soursop, and melon) with notes of dried herbs. On the palate, light, structured, with a fresh acidity and a long finish. Gastronomic pairing from seafood to Indian and Asian cuisine. Artisanal and limited production. Alcohol 12%.
REGION
Itata Valley
Chile
The Itata Valley, in the Ñuble region of central Chile, is one of the oldest wine areas in the country. In the indigenous Mapuche language, Itata means "abundant pasture". The soils of the different appellations in this alluvial valley are sandy and rich in minerals and volcanic sediment. These natural elements support the traditional grapes of the region, País (red) and Muscat (white). Today you will also find Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carménère, Merlot, Sémillon and Tintorera. The Chilean estates of the region craft wines of great quality.
