Sidónio De Sousa Tinto

Descrição

Sidónio de Sousa This wine comes from a vineyard located south of the town of Ancas, in the municipality of Anadia, in the privileged area of Figueira da Costa. The sun exposure is east‑west, with clay and limestone soils. The climate is moderately Mediterranean, with mild winters and warm summers, providing ideal conditions for a transition zone where Atlantic and Mediterranean influences combine. The vineyard follows an Integrated Production system. **Winemaking** The grapes are crushed with partial de‑stemming and refrigerated in the cellar, in small open vats, where the skin maceration begins and, subsequently, fermentation takes place without the addition of enzymes or yeast. The pressing is done manually with wooden plates to enhance the extraction of varietal characteristics. **Maturation** After fermentation in the small open vats, the wine is transferred to concrete tanks and stainless‑steel barrels, where it rests until January of the following year. At that point it is clarified and racked into 4,000‑liter oak barrels of national origin, where it ages for 12 months. **Winemaker**: Paulo Sousa. **Allergen information** Contains sulfites. **SKU**: 104339
