Montalegre naturally brings together the ideal conditions for the aging and aging of mountain wines.
Montalegre also has lower atmospheric pressure levels and lower oxygen concentrations caused by altitude, as well as having a mild climate with fewer temperature peaks, which favors the controlled evolution of aromatic and taste characteristics throughout the aging period of a wine. that you want with character.
And Mont'Alegre has character: wines produced from indigenous grape varieties from the Trás-os-Montes Region, from vineyards planted in predominantly granite soils and at altitudes above 650 meters. Later, everything happens in Montalegre, due to the superb natural conditions for the aging and aging of wines, providing them with freshness, balance and elegance. Above all, giving them identity.
“We can take man off the earth. We can never remove the imprint of the earth from man.” It was with this purpose of returning to my origins and rediscovering my identity that I decided to age my wines in Montalegre, my homeland. It is in quality and exclusivity that I seek to recognize and repay Montalegre with the Mont'Alegre seal.
For all this – and, mainly, due to the family heritage of telluric celebration – Mont'Alegre wines are also the perfect marriage between the intensity and flavor of Barroso's smoked meats.
Lively aroma with notes of red and black fruits, some mineral. In the mouth it is fresh, lively and with some depth. Fresh and vibrant finish. Aging at altitude naturally intensifies the characteristics of Trás-os-Montes wines, giving them density and longevity both in the mouth and in the bottle.
