Falcoaria Red 2020
17,90 €
Bright red colour. The aroma of black fruit, cassis, and dried plum. Some floral notes. Full of fruit on the palate, combined with the obvious notes of the barrels in which it was aged. Powerful, well-defined tannins, give the wine great structure and persistence. Good capacity for ageing in the bottle.

Founded in 1775, the property today is now spread over 1,100 hectares. Of these, 119 hectares are occupied by vineyards in heathland soils. The Braamcamp Sobral Lobo de Vasconcelos family property is one of the most emblematic properties on the Tagus south bank. The first Quinta do Casal Branco winery dates from 1817. The beginning of the 20th century was marked by a profound intervention carried out by D. Manuel Braamcamp Sobral throughout the property, with the introduction of steam machinery, planting of new grape varieties, modernization and winery expansion as well as other infrastructures.
The strong focus on wine production has started a tradition marked by innovation, quality and consistency of wines produced until today. Quinta do Casal Branco is a privileged place to enjoy multiple experiences around wine.
