Casa Ferreirinha
Callabriga is an intense and elegant wine, created to reflect the versatility and exciting contemporaneity of Douro wines. Callabriga is one of the most innovative wines from Casa Ferreirinha, a brand with a great tradition and one of the world’s leading references for quality Douro wines.
The grapes, chosen from the plots of Quinta da Leda in Almendra – Douro Superior, and adjacent vineyards with more balanced maturation, are handpicked and vinified in the property’s winery. After destemming and gentle crushing, the grapes are directed to stainless steel tanks, where alcoholic fermentation takes place. During this phase, gentle macerations are carried out, with controlled temperature, to extract compounds that contribute to the color, aroma, and taste of the wine.
Maturation is done in used French oak barrels (75%) and new American oak barrels (25%) for about 12 months. The final blend is crafted based on selections made during numerous tastings and analyses during this period. To preserve the highest quality, it undergoes only one filtration before bottling.
Ready to drink. It benefits from bottle aging for 3 to 5 years, but remains at its best for several years. As the formation of sediment in the bottle is natural, it is recommended to decant the wine before consumption, especially after its second year of bottling.
Ideal for pairing with meat dishes such as roasted kid or grilled matured meat. It can also harmonize with game meats or fatty fish roasted in the oven.
