Filipa Pato Nossa Calcário Biológico Branco

Description

Produced exclusively from the Bical grape, sourced from certified organic and biodynamic viticulture, the Nossa Calcário Branco faithfully captures the identity of the limestone soils from which it hails. It displays an intense, bright straw‑yellow hue with greenish reflections. On the nose it showcases strong mineralism and a faint smoky note typical of limestone, intertwined with ripe pear nuances – a hallmark of Bical – and delicate hints of dried fruit. As it evolves in the glass, subtle notes of thyme and honey emerge. On the palate it is elegant and creamy, with an enveloping texture and pronounced mineralism translated into a subtle Atlantic‑inspired salinity. Wide and structured, it finishes long and precise, with notes of ripe fruit slightly candied. A wine of great gastronomic versatility, ideal for pairing with noble fish, braised veal, game birds or aged cheeses. With excellent aging potential, it can mature harmoniously for around ten years. Filipa Pato embodies the old saying “a son of a fish knows how to swim.” Although she followed in her father Luís Pato’s footsteps, even academically, Filipa always sought her own world, her own project, where she could show her ideas and rise with her own rhythm. The 2001 harvest, a remarkable year in Bairrada, provided all of this. Today, her wines reflect Filipa’s innovative and brilliant spirit, which quickly achieved national and international success.
