Vertice Cuvee Brut Vinho Espumante do Douro is produced from an exquisite blend of 75 percent black grapes and 25 percent white grapes, sourced from the high-altitude vineyards of Caves Transmontanas. These vineyards are located at an altitude of 550 meters above sea level, where the combination of slate and granite soils creates a unique environment for the development of intense aromas.
