Luis Pato - Quinta do Ribeirinho Pé Franco - Bairrada DOC
This is Pato’s personal tribute to the grape Baga. A traditional variety from Bairrada (PT). Planted in 1988 ungrafted (not on American phylloxera-resistant rootstock) to show the Essence of Baga, in order to achieve a natural concentration only just one bunch per vine is left.
Therefore it is necessary the annual work of six vines to obtain a bottle.
This is due not only to the smaller production of the ungrafted vines but also to the successive green harvests that we make to obtain a very bodied wine that can hide the tannins of the grape and the acidity typical of the climate of the region, fundamental factors to give the wine an aging capacity to celebrate the adulthood, a marriage or another relevant event to the daughter or to the son, with a wine of their birthday.
