Cutelo Red 2017

23,90 €

The 2017 vintage was special, not only because it was the first one, but because it allowed an excellent ripening of the grapes that arrived at the winery very balanced and healthy. So João decided to take the maceration a little further and then give the wine ageing time. It is the first Chinado that is not Chinado, because there will only be CUTELO in years that allow us to have grapes like this, as was the case in 2017!
