Piano Reserva Red Wine

Piano Reserva Red Wine is one of the most outstanding wines of the Carlos Alonso winery, located in the Douro wine region of Portugal.

The Carlos Alonso winery is located in a privileged region for growing grapes. Douro, also known as the Douro Valley, is an area famous for its wines, especially Port wines. The Mediterranean climate with Atlantic influence and schist soils give the wines of this region unique and exceptional characteristics.

Piano Reserva Red Wine is made mainly from a blend of grape varieties indigenous to the Douro region. The most common varieties used in the production of this wine are Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz (also known as Tempranillo) and Touriga Franca. These varieties bring different elements to the wine, from structure and firm tannins to fruity aromas and spicy notes.

The production of Piano Reserva Red Wine begins with the careful selection of the grapes in the vineyard. Only high quality grapes of optimum ripeness are used. After manual harvesting, the grapes are transported to the winery, where they are destemmed and cold macerated to extract aromatic compounds and soft tannins.

Fermentation of Piano Reserva Red Wine takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, which preserves the fruity aromas and freshness of the wine. After fermentation, the wine is racked into French and American oak barrels, where it undergoes an aging process for a specific period of time. During this stage, the wine acquires complexity, structure and elegance, while the tannins are softened and the flavors are integrated.
