Passarella Fugitivo - Bastardo Tinto

Description

This Bastardo from Dão, courtesy of Passarella Fugitivo, isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s a reminder that the Castilian terroir can be a touch rough around the edges, offering ripe black fruit that evolves into a hint of spice – a nod to the Douro’s intensity. The expressive casta delivers a full body with present tannins, but beautifully integrated – like a knight a little clumsy, yet steadfast in his honour. I’d recommend pairing it with a grilled beef dish to truly let it shine.
