WINE DESCRIPTION
Piteira Branco is a white wine produced by the renowned Portuguese winery, Piteira. This wine comes from the Alentejo region, known for its hot and dry climate, which gives the grapes a unique character. The vineyards are located on hillsides with poor soils, which results in low yields and high-quality grapes. The winemaking process involves fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by aging in oak barrels, which adds complexity and depth to the wine. Piteira Branco is a full-bodied wine with a rich and creamy texture, balanced by a refreshing acidity. It has aromas of tropical fruits, citrus, and vanilla, with a long and elegant finish. This wine is perfect to pair with seafood, grilled chicken, or creamy pasta dishes.
