ORIGINS
Winery: Grand'Arte
Region: Vinho Verde
Vinho Verde is a light, refreshing wine from Portugal's northwest region. It is made from a variety of grapes, including Loureiro, Trajadura, and Alvarinho, and is known for its low alcohol content and zesty acidity. This unique wine has a long history in Portugal, and is now enjoyed around the world.
Vinho Verde has been produced in Portugal since the 12th century. It was originally made from a blend of local grapes, and was known for its light, refreshing taste. In the 19th century, the region began to specialize in white wines, and the Vinho Verde style was born. The name "Vinho Verde" literally translates to "green wine," and refers to the fact that the wine is meant to be enjoyed young.CUSTOMER RATING
