WINE DESCRIPTION

Casa de Vila Verde Tiroliro is a vibrant and refreshing Vinho Verde from one of Portugal's oldest wine-producing estates, Casa de Vila Verde, located in the heart of the Vinho Verde region. This wine encapsulates the essence of the region's traditional wine-making heritage, blended with a modern approach to viticulture and winemaking. Tiroliro is crafted from a selection of native grape varieties, including Loureiro, Arinto, and Trajadura, which thrive in the region's cool, rainy climate and granitic soil. These conditions are ideal for producing wines with high acidity and aromatic intensity. The wine undergoes a controlled fermentation process in stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness and fruity character of the grapes, embodying the light, effervescent, and slightly lower alcohol style that Vinho Verde is celebrated for.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Casa de Vila Verde Tiroliro Vinho Verde exudes a lively and youthful character, illustrated by its light straw color and subtle effervescence.The nose is a burst of fresh citrus aromas, green apple, and floral hints, reflective of the Loureiro grape's influence. On the palate, this wine is delightfully crisp and light-bodied, with a zesty acidity that enhances the bright flavors of lemon, lime, and a touch of green pear. The effervescence adds a refreshing quality, making it incredibly drinkable and enjoyable.
