✨ Technical Specifications
Viña Morandé’s Vigno is a proud testament to Chile’s viticultural heritage and the renaissance of the Maule Valley's ancient vines. Born from the VIGNO (Vignadores de Carignan) association, this wine celebrates the rescue of historic, dry-farmed, head-trained Carignan vines planted in the Secano Interior following the devastating 1939 Chillán earthquake. These resilient, deep-rooted old vines thrive without irrigation, absorbing the pure essence of the granitic, clay-rich soils. Morandé crafts this wine using traditional, low-intervention methods, aging the wine in large oak foudres to preserve the grape's naturally high acidity, rustic charm, and intense dark fruit character. The result is a deeply expressive red that weaves a tale of survival, terroir, and Chilean winemaking pride.
