Vin Blanc Arinto dos Açores 2018 - Île de Pico, Açores, Portugal
Differential: Arinto dos Açores is one of the oldest and most traditional grape varieties of Pico Island. Perfectly adapted to the unique cultivation method of volcanic stone “currais”, the pure basalt soils and the strong Atlantic influence, this 2018 vintage is a true expression of heroic viticulture, where climate and geology come together to create a distinctive and unmistakable wine.
