Vale Da Pia Branco

Description

This white wine is produced from the Rabigato, Códega do Larinho and Arinto varieties, hand‑picked and fermented exclusively in stainless‑steel tanks. It presents a citrusy hue with greenish tints, aromas of tropical fruit and white‑meat fruit, and on the palate it reveals itself as fruity, fresh and persistent. Quinta do Reguengo is located in the Douro Superior sub‑region along the Douro River in Pocinho, Vila Nova de Foz Côa, characterised by clay‑rich soils with granite outcrops. These soils, combined with varying altitudes, exposures and grape varieties, are influenced by the warm, humid winds of the Douro valley and the cooler breezes from Spain, creating excellent conditions for regular grape ripening. The winemaking is overseen by Pedro Branco, who is also the mastermind behind the Família Silva Branco wines. (illustrative image)
