Vicentino Wines

Vicentino is the tribute to its unique region of coastal Alentejo, Portugal, in which its vineyard is beautifully located on the coastline. Both the sun and the Atlantic breeze make this terroir the cradle of exceptional and fresh wines.

Description

VC Vicentino Alvarinho 2019 is a white wine produced in the heart of the Vinho Verde region in Portugal. Made entirely from the Alvarinho grape variety, the wine is crisp and refreshing, with a medium body and bright acidity.

On the nose, aromas of ripe citrus fruits, green apples, and a hint of floral notes are present. On the palate, flavors of green apple, lemon, and passionfruit are supported by a mineral backbone and a touch of salinity. The wine is aged on its lees, giving it a creamy texture and a long, lingering finish.

Overall, VC Vicentino Alvarinho 2019 is an excellent representation of the classic Alvarinho style, perfect for enjoying on a warm summer day or pairing with seafood dishes.
