Quinta Alta

Zuccaro Grand Reserve 2019, 75cl

DOC Douro

Quinta Alta

Zuccaro is unique. It appears indecipherable. It reveals itself as harmonious and elegant. A long profile that seduces any mortal. A nectar of identity that carries a first and last name: Quinta Alta – Zuccaro!

The grapes that give rise to this wine come from a field blend with more than 16 identified grape varieties, including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, Rufete, Sousão, and Touriga Brasileira. The old vines are planted in a schist soil, in a set of 7 parcels with different sun exposures, at an altitude ranging from 620 to 710 meters.

Winemaking: Manual harvest on September 27, 2019, carried out in crates of up to 20 kg, manual selection on a conveyor belt. After destemming, it goes directly to the lagar, with pre-fermentation maceration by foot treading also with controlled temperature.

It aged for 36 months in new French oak barrels with medium toast, with malolactic fermentation. Released in May 2024.

A wine that pairs well with barbecue, risotto with ossobuco ragù, duck confit, stewed dishes such as braised veal, Portuguese stew, sausages, and game meats.

Winemaking: Francisco Montenegro and Fernanda Zuccaro.

Quinta Alta

Here, only the strongest, most resilient and courageous resist the trials of this arid land, where the sap springs forth in the form of still and fortified wines, of an unequalled quality and recognised all over the world.
The Douro is also known for being the cradle of extraordinary women who were ahead of their time. It is therefore the ideal place for the birth of an unusual wine brand led by a woman – Fernanda Zuccaro.
QALT is the reflection of this struggling, enterprising and audacious woman who, coming from the other side of the Atlantic, wishes to ally the ancestral history of the Douro to the modernity of the new markets.
An unconditional lover of international wines, she admires above all the tenacity of the women of the Douro – whose pinnacle is D. Maria Antónia Ferreira – and for this reason, she makes a point of honouring all the women of this land with her distinctive, elegant and above all audacious wines.
Its white, rosé and red wines have already taken their first steps on the national and Brazilian markets. Now, like an odyssey of the discoveries, it wants to conquer the world!
