Natus Tinto 2022
Region: Alentejo
Producer: Natus Vini
At the heart of Vidigueira, in the southern foothills of Serra do Mendro, in poor schist soils, the vines are planted in a hot climate, buffered with cool nights.Open cherry red, the color has crystalline halo. The aromas of wild berries and forest floor in harmony with vegetable notes, translate into reactive acidity, with a creamy and elegant texture in the palate. Freshness and delicacy are its character and identity, never tiring, unfolding several layers of flavors, challenging the senses and delivering at the table.
