Farmer, winegrower, winemaker and producer Tiago Sampaio is responsible for the creation of the company Folias de Baco and all its aromas and flavors. It carries with it the taste and the dream of one day being able to turn into reality what he learned and aspired from a young age. It is in Douro lands, piggybacked by his grandfather, that he has his first contact with agriculture and the world of wines. It is in this environment that Tiago Sampaio learns to know a trade that was born out of pure curiosity to become, today, his work and research space.

The sustained growth of the business now allows Tiago to dream bigger, entering into new projects, which in time will be revealed, not always forgetting the roots that have always accompanied him.
Bright and light red color. Intense nose, full of fruit and herbal notes, and a slight toast note. A light and refreshing mouth, very smooth, and an almost salivating acidity. A very drinkable and savoury wine, that incites you to drink more, without any weight of the alcohol.

This wine shows the old vines concentration with delightful aromatic and flavor intensity. Orange peel, amaro liqueur, saffron, fennel seed and dried apricots soar from the glass.

There is impressive fruit concentration here that allows the wine to linger on the palate. The tannins are soft and well integrated into the palate and offer solid structure without being overly drying. The medium-plus acidity is...
