Fitapreta Tinto
This red wine is the perfect expression of the Alentejo region in Portugal. With aromas of ripe red fruits, notes of spice, herbs, and toast on the nose. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied with refreshing acidity and concentrated flavours of raspberries, blackberries, and cherries. Smooth and soft with a long lingering finish. Pair it with chorizo and tomato pasta, roast beef, or grilled vegetables.
