Nossa Calcario Tinto 2024
Region: Bairrada
Producer: Filipa Pato
Nossa Calcario Tinto comes from very old vines of the local Baga grape, which is sometimes compared to Nebbiolo and Pinot. The biodynamic cultivation of the grapes and the safe vinification results in a wine full of finesse and complexity.New this year is that the wine is certified by Demeter, the strict organization that monitors biodynamic viticulture. After a conversion period of 4 years, Filipa and William are allowed to use the label. We have already tasted the clearly positive influence on the character of the wine in recent years: biodynamics makes the best wines even better.

Waar serveer je ’m bij?
Very old Baga vines on limestone, farmed biodynamically. Baga is sometimes set beside Nebbiolo and Pinot, and this bottle shows why: a pale colour that says nothing about the structure underneath. Fermented in open vats, aged in used casks, thirteen and a half degrees. Where the Dinamica from the same house plays on pleasure, this one plays on keeping.
