Scala Coeli | Red | 2020 | Alentejo - W Points 95AA

Intro: This wine takes its name from the Santa Maria Scala Coeli Monastery where monks live in silence and daily prayer. Only produced in exceptional years and from grape varietals not common in the Alentejo region

Region: Alentejo (DOC)

Winery: Cartuxa

Grapes: Touriga Nacional

Aging: 15 months in new French Oak Barrels

Tasting Notes: A Touriga Nacional grape variety. Very rich in color, the floral notes remain in the background, we find an atmosphere of dried vegetables and black fruits in an austere aromatic register, different from what is usual for this grape variety. Voluminous, soft and enveloping on the palate, with fine tannins which support the structure of the wine.
