Alianca Tinto Bruto Reserva Sparkling Red, Metodo Classico, Caves Alianca

Description

Alianca Tinto Bruto Reserva is a sparkling Portuguese red wine which is produced by Caves Alianca.

Caves Alianca is one of Portugal’s largest and most progressive producers with 600 hectares spread across estates in five regions from Douro in the north to Alentejo in the south. Winemaker Francisco Antunes oversees what must be one of the most diverse ranges in Europe, from the 3rd largest Portuguese rose brand (Casal Mendes) to some of the country’s most impressive premium reds from estates in Douro, Dao, Bairrada and Alentejo. Arguably, Francisco’s greatest achievements lie between these extremes, a range of mid-priced wines from native varieties, full of character, quite distinctly Portuguese, but at the same time approachable and with fresh, modern fruit.

Alianca Tinto Bruto Reserva  is produced from grapes grown in the Bairrada region, to the west of Dao, this wine is a blend of Baga and Tinta Roriz which undergoes 24 months ageing in bottle before “dégorgement.”
