ABOUT THIS WINE
Pipeño is a historic, cultural tradition of the Chilean countryside, originally designating rustic, everyday wines made by local farmers in open wooden vats. Ignacio 'Nacho' Pino Román, a trained agronomist with extensive international harvest experience, brings a clean, technically precise, yet radically natural and low-intervention approach to this heritage style. Sourced from the coastal Ñuble range in the Itata Valley, this wine represents a dedication to preserving ancient vineyards and traditional Chilean viticulture.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are harvested manually from 80-year-old, dry-farmed, own-rooted bush vines. In the cellar, the grapes are destemmed, and each variety is placed in separate open-top vats for spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts and no temperature control. Maceration lasts approximately two weeks. Following fermentation, the components are blended and aged for 10 months in stainless steel tanks. The wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimal sulfur added only at bottling, packaged in the traditional rustic 1-Liter bottle format.
