Gandolini Las 3 Marias Vineyards

A Benchmark for Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon
Gandolini Winery, nestled in the heart of the Maipo Andes, is dedicated to crafting one of Chile’s most refined expressions of Cabernet Sauvignon. Founded in 2011 by Stefano Gandolini and Fernando Izquierdo Menéndez, the winery is a tribute to precision, passion, and an unwavering commitment to quality. With vineyards first planted in 2001, Gandolini Winery focuses exclusively on a single wine: Las 3 Marías Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon, an iconic expression of Maipo Valley’s exceptional terroir.

A Singular Terroir
The Maipo Andes region is widely recognized as one of the finest locations in the world for Cabernet Sauvignon, with its high-altitude vineyards benefiting from the cooling influence of the Andes Mountains. The unique combination of well-draining alluvial soils, abundant sunshine, and significant diurnal temperature variation allows the grapes to ripen slowly and develop extraordinary complexity, structure, and balance. These conditions create wines with remarkable depth, freshness, and aging potential, characteristics that define Las 3 Marías Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon.

Winemaking Philosophy
Gandolini Winery’s philosophy is rooted in the idea that great wines are made in the vineyard. Every decision, from vine management to harvest, is meticulously executed to ensure only the finest grapes make it into the winery. The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal maturity and undergo a rigorous selection process before fermentation. Stefano Gandolini, an experienced and visionary winemaker, employs a combination of traditional and modern techniques to craft a wine that showcases the elegance, power, and complexity of Maipo Valley’s Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in the finest French oak barrels, Las 3 Marías achieves a perfect balance between vibrant fruit, structured tannins, and refined oak influence, resulting in a wine of exceptional longevity.

A Wine of Distinction
With limited production, Las 3 Marías Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon is a true collector’s wine, sought after for its purity, finesse, and depth. Each vintage is a testament to the potential of Maipo Valley, displaying rich aromas of blackcurrant, graphite, and subtle spice, with a layered palate of dark fruit, fine-grained tannins, and a long, elegant finish.

A New Chilean Icon
Through dedication to excellence and a deep respect for its terroir, Gandolini Winery has firmly established itself among Chile’s elite wine producers. Las 3 Marías stands as a beacon of what Maipo Andes Cabernet Sauvignon can achieve—an expression of place, tradition, and masterful winemaking that continues to set new standards for South American fine wine.
