Tasting notes
Avesso with 12 days skin contact, no sulphites, unfiltered and not clarified, using indigenous yeasts and fermented in steel tanks. This results in a ‘wild’ raw wine, with tannins where we find a more aromatic side to an otherwise subtle grape, revealing itself in the body and with a dry finish.

Vineyards
Casa de Vilacetinho is located in Alpendurada overlooking the River Douro and covers an estate with 30 hectares of vineyards which develop in a continuous and ordered manner in soils of granitic nature, with a predominantly South sun exposure, making it one of the most prosperous locales of the region set to the production of ‘Vinho Verde’.
