LOT
In the last 15 years, Ricardo Diogo made a few Tinta Negra wines from single vineyards and aged them in old French oak casks. The moment was ripe to select a Tinta Negra single cask for bottling; Looking for a cask with some youthfulness that would show the effects that the traditional “Canteiro” method can bring to a wine. Well concentrated sweetness, good acidity and freshness at the end of mouth. From the 2002 harvest he chose a wine from cask 110, capacity of 620 litres, that shows off beautifully what was described above and simultaneously exemplifies the complexity of Tinta Negra. We bottled 1035 bottles, all individually numbered.
