Red Wine
Ventisquero Reserva Carménère
A tribute to the glaciers of the Andes mountain chain and to those brave explorers who try to conquer them, challenging their own limits. Their reward is this wine that makes them feel alive, the soul of the Andes in each glass. Deep cherry red with an attractive aroma of fresh black and red fruit. Its spicy notes intermingle with hints of chocolate and vanilla.
