Date Tasted: 9/2020
One more excellent sparkling wine is made with the traditional method from Portugal in the Vinho Verde region. Avesso is a native Portugal variety that gives full-body wines with structure and has a lot of character on the palate. The winemakers often use it for traditional method sparkling wines, late harvest, barrel-fermented or barrel-aged wines since the grape shows a versatile nature. Here we have a wine that supports all the arguments above with the marvellous mouth-watering sense.
