NORTICO ALVARINHO

Nortico comes from small vineyard plots in Monção and Melgaço, on the border with Spain’s Galicia province, known as the best Alvarinho-growing area in Portugal. Unlike other wines from the larger Vinho Verde area, Nortico has no added CO2, making for a richer, fuller, well-balanced wine. Albariño/Alvarinho is the grape to watch for age-worthy, world-class wines, and Nortico is the perfect introduction.

Nortico is a light and delicate wine, perfect for sipping on the porch to drink on its own. It also pairs exceptionally well with seafood, including grilled octopus, fried calamari. Its citrus notes make it a great match for ceviche. Additionally, it complements creamy and tangy cheeses beautifully. To fully appreciate its citrus and fruit aromas, serve it at a recommended temperature of 50°F (10°C).

Creamy citrus oil, lime and yellow apple notes are nicely spiced and detailed with saline mineral and floral underpinnings through the long finish. — Gillian Sciaretta
