The Altano Rewilding Edition is crafted with carefully selected indigenous grape varieties, primarily a Tinto Red blend, grown on sustainably managed vineyards that nurture the land and its wildlife.

Subtle hints of spice add depth and complexity, creating a well-balanced and harmonious profile that is both refreshing and satisfying. The Altano Rewilding Edition is incredibly versatile, making it a perfect companion to a wide range of dishes. Its vibrant fruit and spice notes make it an excellent match for grilled meats, such as lamb chops or sausages. It also pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables, hearty stews, and flavorful cheeses. Consider serving it alongside a classic Portuguese dish like 'Carne de Porco à Alentejana' (pork with clams) for a truly authentic culinary experience. This wine is best enjoyed slightly chilled, at around 16°C, to accentuate its refreshing qualities and allow the aromas to fully express themselves.
