Quinta de Côtto Signature Red is a refined and layered Douro blend that showcases the elegance and depth of this historic Portuguese region. Deep garnet in color, it opens with a complex bouquet of dark berries, cassis, and ripe cherries, interwoven with notes of tobacco leaf, graphite, and subtle spice from well-judged oak aging.
The palate is full-bodied and structured, yet polished, with a core of concentrated black fruit balanced by firm tannins and a vibrant thread of acidity. Hints of dark chocolate, cedar, and dried herbs add nuance, leading to a long, savory finish with lingering echoes of spice and mineral.
A sophisticated red with aging potential, Quinta de Côtto Signature pairs beautifully with roasted meats, game, or rich mushroom dishes, and rewards decanting if enjoyed young.
