## Description

Vallado Tinto 3 Litros is a red wine from the Douro, Portugal, produced by Quinta do Vallado. The winemaking is overseen by Francisco Olazabal and Francisco Ferreira. It is made from a field blend of old vines. Vintage 2022.

Winemaking of the Vallado Tinto 2021 3 Litros: About 80% of the grapes come from vineyards planted in the 1990s, and 20% from old vines aged between 60 and 100 years. The grapes are fermented in 5- and 10-tonne stainless steel tanks, fully destemmed. The must ferments for about a week at 23–25 °C with scheduled automatic pump-overs.

The wine shows a ruby colour. On the nose, it is concentrated, with ripe red fruit, rosemary and violet standing out. On the palate, it has good structure, is fleshy, with round tannins. The finish is persistent.

It pairs well with grilled red meats, roast kid goat and cured cheeses. Serve at 16–18 °C. With 13.5% ABV, it comes in a 3-litre bottle.

To get the most from this red, open the bottle a few minutes before serving and pour it into a wide-bowled glass, which lets the aromas breathe. For younger, more concentrated wines, a brief decanting helps soften the tannins. Store the bottle on its side, in a cool, dark place without temperature fluctuations. Once opened, reseal the bottle and keep it in the refrigerator to preserve the aromas.
