Appellation Alentejo - IGP

The Alentejo PGI is a distinguished wine region located in the southeast of Portugal, renowned for the diversity and quality of its wines. Spanning across eight distinct sub-regions, Alentejo benefits from a hot, dry climate with a strong Mediterranean influence, which facilitates optimal grape ripening. The varied soils, ranging from sandstone to schist, provide a mineral richness that manifests in the aromatic complexity of the wines produced. Alentejo is particularly famous for its robust red wines, often crafted from indigenous grape varieties such as Aragonês, Trincadeira, and Alicante Bouschet. These wines are full-bodied, featuring intense notes of dark fruits, spices, and sometimes hints of chocolate. The white wines, on the other hand, maintain a pleasant freshness with aromas of tropical fruits and citrus, coming from grape varieties like Antão Vaz and Roupeiro. The local producers' commitment to quality and authenticity makes Alentejo an emerging region that attracts wine enthusiasts seeking unique and refined flavors. Exploring Alentejo wines is an immersion into a rich and dynamic winemaking tradition.
