O Produtor, tasting note published in March 21st 2024

The Côtto Reserva Branco presents a luminous yellow-green color. On the nose, it reveals a delicate and complex character, with a subtle fruity profile, where citrus and ripe white fruit notes stand out, harmoniously integrated with elegant smoky hints from the wood, further enhancing its aromatic complexity. On the palate, it is vibrant and fresh, with an enveloping volume that provides surprising smoothness and precision. The finish is harmonious, persistent, and long, leaving a lasting impression of balance and finesse.
