30% Alicante Bouschet, 20% Aragonez, 20% Trincadeira, 20% Castelão e 10% Moreto.
Expressing a sense of place is the guiding principle of FITAPRETA. From dominant schist soils, the grapes are hand-harvested, let to ferment spontaneously, and given only neutral barrel aging to preserve the fruit pureness. It is the expression of the alentejano “blend” of Aragonez, Alicante Bouschet, Trincadeira, Castelão and Moreto.
Concentrated violet color. Intense nose of fresh black fruits with notes of dry grass. Full-bodied, rich and lickerish attack with toffee notes and the aftertaste reveals firm and round tannins.
The vines are cultivated in very poor soils of schist (70%) or granitic (30%) origin, naturally giving very concentrated grapes.
The grapes are grown either under an organic production regime or under an Integrated Certified Production regime without the use of herbicides, most of which are rainfed, without irrigation. Our vineyards are also all certified within the Alentejo sustainability program.
12 months 50% french oak and 50% stainless steel vats.
