Mainova Tinto - Mainova

The barrel-aged Mainova Tinto from the Alentejo wine-growing region presents a dense purple color in the glass. To the nose, this Mainova red wine presents all sorts of blueberries, mulberries, black currants and blackberries. As if that wasn't already impressive, the aging in small wooden barrels adds other aromas such as green peppers, cigar box and oak.

This Portuguese wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor. It was bottled with only 1 gram of residual sugar. As you would naturally expect from a wine in the high quality wine range, this Portuguese naturally enraptures with the finest balance for all its dryness. Taste does not necessarily need sugar. On the palate, the texture of this powerful red wine is wonderfully dense. Due to the moderate fruit acidity, the Mainova Tinto flatters with a soft mouthfeel, without lacking freshness at the same time. The final of this red wine from the wine-growing region of Alentejo finally thrilled with considerable reverberation.
