ABOUT THIS WINE
Aneto Pinot Noir 2022 is a distinctive red wine from Aneto Wines, a family-owned estate in Portugal's Douro Valley. Established in 2001, the winery focuses on limited production of high-quality wines. This particular Pinot Noir is cultivated at altitudes exceeding 500 meters, a factor that, along with the predominantly granitic soil, contributes to its unique minerality and crisp acidity. The wine is aged for 12 months in used French oak barrels, adding subtle complexity. The 2022 vintage benefited from favorable growing conditions in the Douro, resulting in a wine that balances fruit ripeness with vibrant acidity. This wine represents a unique expression of Pinot Noir from a region more traditionally known for its fortified wines.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Aneto Pinot Noir 2022 begins with grapes grown at an altitude exceeding 500 meters in the Douro region, on predominantly granitic soils. This high-altitude cultivation is key to developing the grape's characteristic minerality and acidity. Following harvest, the grapes undergo winemaking processes designed to preserve their delicate nature. The wine is then aged for 12 months in used French oak barrels, a technique that imparts subtle complexity and softens the tannins without masking the fruit's freshness. This approach highlights Aneto Wines' commitment to producing distinctive, high-quality wines that express the unique terroir of their estate.
