Tonico Tinto 2022 – DOC Alentejo Amphora Wine (Granja Amareleja Sub-Region)

Tonico Tinto 2022 – DOC Alentejo Amphora Wine

Tonico 2022 is the purest expression of the Moreto da Amareleja grape, produced using the ancestral method of amphora wine. Made from grapes sourced from the Bancaleiro (1997) and Asper (1950s) vineyards, this wine pays homage to the roots and old masters of the region.

Fermented in clay amphoras with native yeasts, without fining or filtering, Tonico is a rustic yet elegant wine, where time and clay shape every nuance.

On the nose, it reveals earthy and smoky notes, well-integrated with red fruit and herbal touches. On the palate, it displays juicy freshness, a medium body, and crunchy tannins, with a long and complex finish. A wine that authentically translates the spirit of the amphora and the character of the Moreto grape.
