Casa Da Passarella O Fugitivo Curtimenta Branco

Description

“O Fugitivo Dão – it’s certainly a statement, isn’t it? Born from the embers of a truly remarkable legacy – a nod to the legendary P63 wines crafted by José Maria da Fonseca. This wine embraces the Dão’s notoriously cool winters, employing extended skin contact during fermentation, a month in fact, suggesting the cold wasn't a hurdle, but a key ingredient. The result is a breathtaking complexity, revealing balsamic, citrus notes and a hint of honey, as if the terroir itself is whispering secrets. With an almost audacious elegance and a powerful presence on the palate – scoring a remarkable 18.5 points – this wine demands to be discovered, and certainly deserves a place in your cellar. It’s particularly stunning with bacalhau, providing a brilliant counterpoint to the richness of the cod skin.”
