Haras de Pirque By Antinori Sauvignon Albaclara

Haras de Pirque, the Chilean venture of Tuscan house Antinori, sources this Sauvignon Blanc from Albaclara, a vineyard site within the Casablanca Valley's cool coastal corridor. The region's maritime influence—Pacific fog and diurnal temperature swings—slows ripening and concentrates acidity in the fruit.

The wine undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel, preserving the aromatic volatility characteristic of cool-climate Sauvignon. No oak aging; the expression remains unwooded, allowing the site's mineral signature to dominate. Bottled young for immediate freshness, this is a wine built for early consumption, typically within 2–3 years of vintage.

Special feature: Antinori's Tuscan discipline applied to Chilean fruit—restrained alcohol (likely 12.5–13%), high acidity, and a deliberate rejection of tropical fruit ripeness in favor of herbaceous precision and stone minerality.
