Arinto 2016

Why we love this wine

• Grapes & Terroir

  Clay-limestone soils originally from the Jurassic period, with clay texture. Gentle slopes with southern exposure.
• Viticulture

  Careful management of vegetation to optimize the aromatic potential of grapes.
• Winemaking

  Manual harvest followed by selection of the best bunches at the entrance of the cellar. Stemming and soft crushing, the must was clarified by natural settling in refrigerated vats. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts in cement tanks with controlled temperature. 10% of the Arinto fermented and aged for 5 months in old French oak barrels to enhance the complexity of the wine.
• Tasting

  Colour: brilliant colour. Nose: elegant and discrete, characteristic of the grape, it expresses citrus aromas, where the lime is highlighted, with notes of orange blossom. Mineral. Palate: With the creaminess characteristic of Quinta do Pinto’s wines, the mouth has citrus notes stand out, combined with a very pleasant freshness and a persistent mouthfeel.
• Wine & Food Pairing

  By the glass! Seafood dishes and grilled fish, rich salads. Italian food, sushi and ceviche!
