Emiliana's Vigno Carignan is a tribute to the rescue of Chile's historic old-vine heritage. The Vigno (Vignadores de Carignan) movement was born in the Maule Valley to protect and celebrate dry-farmed, head-trained Carignan vines that are at least 30 years old. Originally introduced to Chile after the devastating 1939 Chillán earthquake to add color and acidity to local blends, these resilient vines were long forgotten. Today, Emiliana sources fruit from these deep-rooted, dry-farmed vineyards in the coastal range of the valley. Crafted using organic and biodynamic principles, the wine showcases the wild, untamed character of the grape, offering intense notes of sour cherry, wild berries, and earthy undertones, balanced by vibrant natural acidity and rustic, structured tannins.
