Furtiva Lagrima Tinto

Description

“Furtiva Lagrima presents a delightfully spirited character, as if it’s had a minor disagreement with convention. Born in exceptional vintages, it showcases the best of Alicante Bouschet alongside the finesse of the Monte da Raposinha vineyard. Expect a deeply aromatic profile, boasting dark fruit notes balanced by balsamic and spicy nuances – a result of a generous 23-month ageing in new French oak barrels. It’s a complex and remarkably inviting wine, delivering generous volume and concentration with beautifully refined tannins. The finish is impressively persistent and elegant. We highly recommend pairing this assertive wine with hearty meat dishes or cured cheeses – it truly demands a bold accompaniment. Decanting is almost essential.”
