, Cabernet Sauvignon , Cabernet Franc La Piu Belle is the goddess of the Millahue Valley - the Place of Gold. Complex, beautiful, voluptuous, intense, elegant and fresh. She is the mystical world's personification of our incredible terroir, which was brilliantly captured in a bottle. A timeless reflection of the beauty of nature.
La Piu Belle 2021 from Vik is a refined, expressive red blend dominated by 76% Carménère, supported by 19% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc. The wine offers a rich aromatic profile of black cherries, tile, graphite, and ginseng, with underlying notes of black pepper, prunes, and forest floor. On the palate, it's full-bodied with creamy tannins and a layered, persistent finish. Aged 24 months in French oak (15% using their custom Barroir barrels), it combines opulence with balance and elegance.

The nose reveals upfront notes of black fruit, such as blackberries and prunes, spices spearheaded by black pepper, and the characteristic forest floor aroma of Carmenère, harmonizing with the mineral notes.
This story presents us with a Carmenère in movement, showcasing the finesse it achieves in the special terroir of Millahue: elegant and dynamic, with rounded tannins that fill the mid-palate, giving a sensation of volume while highlighting the layers of flavors. The Cabernet Sauvignon is accompanied by a firm structure, like a pentagram full of notes that carry us to an infinite experience in the finish. Meanwhile, the Cabernet Franc elegantly brings tension and minerality, lending the mouth refined graphite notes.
