Trinca Bolotas Rosé

Description

Trinca Bolotas Free‑roaming across the Alentejo hills, the Alentejo pig—an indigenous Portuguese species that primarily feeds on acorns—is today the sole surviving pasture pig in Europe. By shaping the landscape and helping preserve the Mediterranean woodland, it has become a true heritage of the Alentejo. The greatest symbol of regional gastronomy and an everlasting invitation to culinary pleasure, the pig inspires this wine’s identity. By pairing Trinca Bolotas with this Alentejo icon, two of the region’s most iconic figures unite for an authentic, relaxed, and character‑filled experience. Trinca Bolotas is a wine with deep roots in the Alentejo yet with an urban, contemporary attitude. With over a decade of solid market presence, it positions itself as a brand close to people, crafted for sharing, conversation, and good spirits. More than a wine, Trinca Bolotas is a true catalyst of stories. As Filipe Gonçalves, Chief Marketing Officer of Sogrape, says: “It’s a brand born to feed stories – with humor, authenticity and simplicity.” Regularly found at tables surrounded by friends, where time drifts leisurely, Trinca Bolotas accompanies light and genuine moments—those where each tale demands another glass, and each glass sparks new tales. The V‑Label certification from the European Vegetarian Union further underscores the brand’s commitment to more sustainable and inclusive choices. In clarifying this wine, only plant‑derived proteins are used, making it suitable for vegetarians and vegans. **Classification | DOC Alentejo** **Sustainable Viticulture | Yes** **Enologist | Luís Cabral Almeida** **Bottler | Sogrape Vinhos, S.A., Avintes, Portugal** **Vinification** Made from carefully selected grapes of Touriga Nacional (60%) and Syrah (40%).
