Casa Ferreirinha Douro Tinto Callabriga 2020 750 ML

Intense aromas of black fruits, including prunes and sour cherries, as well as cocoa. Balsamic aromas are also prominent alongside a well- integrated wood element that bestows great complexity. It has smooth yet firm tannins, a balanced acidity, and long persistent finish.\n\nGrapes are sourced from selected plots at Quinta da Leda property and vineyards surrounding it in the Douro Superior sub-region. After destemming and soft crushing, the grapes are transferred to stainless steel tanks, where they undergo alcoholic fermentation for 8 days. Gentle maceration takes place for 5 days at controlled temperatures (82°F) to extract color and aromas.\n\nPairs wonderfully with meat dishes and is the ideal accompaniment to game or roasted fish.\n\nCallabriga is an intense, elegant and contemporary red wine from the Douro that reflects the versatility and passionate modernity of the region's wines. Callabriga is one of Casa Ferreirinha's most innovative wines, and the brand's outstanding tradition of producing superior Douro wines has won it global renown. Callabriga borrows its the name from a Roman fortified settlement in this once remote region of the Douro Valley—an homage to the structural power of the wine.
