Folias de Baco “Uivo Anfora"
For this bottling, the rarely found samarrinho and donzelinho grape varietals are organically farmed and aged in a clay amphora with 11 months on the skins. Expect complex and crystalline floral, citrus, and herbal notes. Between the clay vessels and the use of nearly extinct varietals, this wine reaches back to centuries-old traditions.
Folias de Baco is the project of Tiago Sampaio, a 3rd generation Portuguese winemaker who earned a PhD in viticulture and enology in Oregon before returning to his grandparents Douro valley vineyards in 2007. Folias de Baco translates as “Revelry of Bacchus”. The wines are indeed worthy of celebration!
