Fitapreta Branco
Fitapreta Branco is a project to revive the old Alentejo white wines. Produced with indigenous varieties from small plots and made with minimal intervention, it expresses the purity of the region. With intense aromatic notes of citrus and beautiful minerality, it is well balanced and refreshing with long lingering citrus on the finish. Excellent accompaniment to grilled chicken, seafood, and pasta.
