CIMO D´ALDEIA – WHITE WINE
Santiago na Ânfora do Rocim Alvarinho results from a partnership between Quinta de santiago and Herdade do Rocim, producer from Alentejo. A different interpretation of an Alvarinho of Monção & Melgaço, resulting from the knowledge of Quinta de Santiago on the grape variety and the terroir and Herdade do Rocim on the winemaking process in Amphora. An unprecedented experience which could only result in a unique and exceptional wine: the first Alvarinho in Amphora ever made!
