Information

Vinho Verde Tinto is a light and refreshing red wine that comes from the Vinho Verde wine region in the northwest of Portugal. It has a bright ruby color and a delicate aroma of red fruits, such as raspberries and cherries, with subtle herbal notes. On the palate, this wine is light-bodied and crisp, with a low tannin content and a refreshing acidity that provides a pleasant freshness and a slightly effervescent texture that adds to its vibrancy. The fruit flavors are well-balanced by a subtle spiciness, making it a perfect wine to pair with grilled fish, roasted poultry, and light pasta dishes.
