Marchese Piero discovered this pristine estate in the heart of the Maipo Valley and began a joint venture in 2001 with the owners, before acquiring the whole property in 2017. Albis is the flagship wine from the estate, a beautifully expressive Cabernet with a dash of Chile’s signature Carménère. We've enjoyed several vintages of this charmer and it really offers cracking value for the table. It also has the structure, acidity and depth of fruit for extended cellaring, and the 2020 is the highest-scored release yet with 94 points from James Suckling.
