Altano - Douro Red 2010 6x 75cl Bottles

Product Description

Made from grapes grown in the Symington family’s own Douro Valley vineyards (principally Cima Corgo & Douro Superior sub-regions). In all of these, environmental care is uppermost in the viticulturists’ minds & accordingly, they use integrated vineyard management, a code of sustainable agricultural practice which favours natural measures to control pests & other threats to the vines. Ideal for everyday, informal drinking at home with family or with friends, a great wine to relax & unwind with. Altano reflects its Douro origins perfectly: generous aromas of wildflowers (rockrose & lavender); full-bodied structure with fresh & assertive fruit (plums & black cherries); spicy, peppery tones, all seamlessly held together. A very food-friendly wine, Altano is a great companion for a wide selection of foods. Its full, assertive fruity style makes it particularly suited to accompany savoury Mediterranean dishes & barbecue grills. Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz & Tinta Barroca (the relative proportions of each vary from year to year).
