Curico Valley
Curicó turns clay-heavy soils into wines of unusual structure: reds with firm tannins and earth-driven depth, whites marked by minerality rather than fruit sweetness. The valley's cooler inland reaches pull Cabernet and Carmenère toward savory ripeness, resisting the jammy excess that dogs warmer Chilean valleys.
