Filipa Pato Nossa Calcário Biológico Branco

Description

Produced exclusively from the Bical grape, sourced from certified organic and biodynamic viticulture, the Nossa Calcário Branco accurately expresses the identity of the calcareous soils from which it springs. It displays a deep, bright straw‑yellow colour with greenish reflections. Aromatically it stands out for its strong mineralism and a subtle smoky note typical of limestone, wrapped in nuances of ripe pear – a hallmark of Bical – and delicate hints of dried fruit. As the wine evolves in the glass, 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. It is wide and structured, finishing long and precise, with notes of ripe fruit and a slight confit character. A wine of great gastronomic suitability, ideal for pairing with noble fish, braised veal, game birds or aged cheeses. With excellent aging potential, it can evolve harmoniously for about 10 years. Filipa Pato confirms the old saying "a son of a fish knows how to swim." Although she followed in the footsteps of her father Luís Pato, even in her academic training, Filipa has always wanted her own world, her own project, where she would showcase her ideas and rise on her own. It was the 2001 harvest, a great year in Bairrada, that would provide all of this. Today, her wines are the result of Filipa's innovative and brilliant spirit, which quickly became successful nationally and internationally. (illustrative image)
