ABOUT THIS WINE
The Casa Américo Touriga Nacional 2016 is a single-varietal red wine from Portugal's Dão region, produced by Adega Casa Americo. The wine is crafted from 100% Touriga Nacional grapes, sourced from vineyards in the Serra da Estrela sub-region, some of which are over a century old. Adega Casa Americo's philosophy centers on preserving the wine heritage of the Serra da Estrela, revitalizing old vineyards and regional grape varieties. The brand's origin lies in the aspiration of patriarch Américo Seabra to produce wine in his birthplace, a dream fulfilled by his descendants who restored an 18th-century estate and built a new winery. The wines are recognized for reflecting the character and elegance of the Dão region.
