ABOUT THIS WINE
No Es Pituko is a playful Chilean slang meaning 'it is not fancy' or 'not snobby,' representing Viña Echeverria's commitment to authentic, low-intervention winemaking. Produced in the Maule Valley, this wine showcases Carignan from sustainably farmed vineyards. The Echeverria family, established in Chile since the early 20th century, created this range to challenge traditional, highly polished wine styles, offering instead a vibrant, rustic, and honest representation of the grape and terroir.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Crafted with minimal intervention, the grapes are hand-harvested and fermented using wild yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The wine undergoes no oak aging to preserve the raw, vibrant fruit character of Carignan. It is bottled unfiltered and unfined, with zero added sulfur dioxide, resulting in a cloudy, living wine that captures the pure essence of the Maule Valley terroir.
