Bien de Altura El3mento Tinto 2021
Carmeloâs tribal wine, El3mento is also an outlier in style. Often led by bright floral notes and earth, it was aged for eight months in a 1000L amphora with the whole clusters, remaining unmoved with only the free-run wine kept for the final wine. Itâs composed entirely of ListĂĄn Negro planted forty years ago (as of 2024) on an extremely steep slope adjacent to Sansofi but on the other side of the hill facing southeast (Sansofi, north). It shares the same volcanic picĂłn, sand, clay, and silty red topsoil as the other wines, but with higher large volcanic rock content. El3mento is a project developed by Carmelo and LuĂs Candido da Silva, who met while at Niepoort in Portugalâs Douro Valley. Today, this project has extended to Switzerland and Chileâs Itata Valley, where these friends make their wines the same way, with long whole-cluster, post-fermentation macerations in amphora.
