Alabastro Tinto is a vibrant expression of Portugal's sun-drenched Alentejo region, crafted by the historic Bacalhoa estate. The wine's name pays tribute to alabaster, a beautiful, translucent ornamental stone historically quarried and celebrated in the region's art and architecture. Sourced from vineyards in the rolling plains of Alentejo, where hot summers are tempered by cool night breezes, this red blend is designed to showcase the pure, fruit-forward character of traditional Portuguese varieties. Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its lively primary fruit aromas, Alabastro represents a harmonious balance of regional tradition and modern, approachable winemaking, capturing the warm hospitality and rustic charm of southern Portugal.
