Porto Tawny Quinta do Noval

The Tawny Port of Quinta do Noval comes from the Douro Valley, east of Porto, in that area of Portugal which is suited for the characteristics and tradition of producing one of the most famous fortified wines in the world.

It is obtained starting from a blend of typical varieties of the area. The fermentation of the must is stopped by adding ethyl alcohol in order to preserve the necessary sugar content. Subsequently, fortified wine ages in large oak barrels for 4 years.

At sight it shows a ruby red color. The nose is extremely complex: it introduces toasted notes of almonds, coffee, cocoa, dried fruit on a spicy background of cloves and cherry fruit in alcohol. In the mouth the complexity is confirmed, played in a very fine balance of sweetness, softness, freshness and flavor. All with an enviable structure.

To be served with desserts made with dried fruit or cocoa. Try it with chestnut.
