Piano Black Ruby Reserve Port Wine

Piano Black Ruby Reserva Port Wine is a jewel of the Carlos Alonso winery, located in the prestigious appellation of Porto in Portugal.

One of the distinctive features of Piano Black Ruby Reserva Port Wine is its choice of grape varieties. The Carlos Alonso winery uses the varieties to produce this wine: Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca, Tinta Barroca. These grapes are native to the Douro region of Portugal and have been used for centuries in the production of Port wines.

The process of making Piano Black Ruby Reserva Port Wine begins with the careful selection of the grapes. Only the ripest and best quality grapes are used, which guarantees excellence in every bottle. Once selected, the grapes are pressed and fermented in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature. During this process, the characteristic flavors and aromas of the grapes are extracted, resulting in a wine with a unique personality.

After fermentation, the wine undergoes a period of aging in oak barrels. This aging period is fundamental for the development of the flavors and complexity of the wine. In the case of Piano Black Ruby Reserva Port Wine, the aging time can vary, but generally ranges from 4 to 6 years. During this time, the wine acquires an elegant structure and a rich palette of flavors.

Once the wine has reached the desired maturity, it is bottled and sealed for marketing. It is important to note that Piano Black Ruby Reserva Port Wine is a fortified wine, which means that grape brandy is added during the fermentation process to stop fermentation and maintain certain levels of sweetness and alcohol. This traditional fortification technique is what gives the wine its characteristic balance between sweetness and acidity.
