A captivating expression of the Baga grape, showcasing its ability to produce wines of depth and complexity. Sourced from a single vineyard in Bairrada, planted on calcareous soils, 100% Baga grapes from 100+ year-old vines are handpicked and hand-selected. These grapes are partly destemmed and fermented in open oak "lagares" with some extraction (pigéage). Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 18 months in 500-600 liter used "pipas" (oak barrels). On the palate, Nossa Calcário Tinto unfolds with a vibrant ruby hue and a captivating interplay of aromas, featuring delicate notes of red berries like cherry and raspberry, intertwined with subtle nuances of spice, earth, and a touch of minerality. The palate presents a harmonious blend of flavors, showcasing a refreshing acidity that balances the fruit sweetness, while a subtle tannic structure provides a framework for aging. The finish is persistent, leaving a lingering impression of redberry fruit and a hint of spice. The influence of the calcareous soils is evident in the wine's bright acidity and subtle mineral notes. This wine is a testament to Filipa Pato's dedication to minimal intervention and sustainable viticulture. It results in an elegant and expressive wine that reflects Bairrada's unique terroir. Nossa Calcário Tinto is a perfect pairing with various dishes, from grilled meats to hearty stews.
