Casa da Passarella A Descoberta Tinto Colheita 2021

€ 9.92

Here's a smooth and juicy wine that has great black fruit aromas and flavours. It has good balance between the dry tannins and a firm structure typical of Dão, with a classy finish. A Gentle gianti dense, brooding and serious but with a soft and seductive delivery. Drink whilst listening to Marvin Gaye.

Dão, one of the most classic wine regions in Portugal, has entered a new phase. Young winemakers have broken with the drying, often oxidized style of the previous generation and are now making elegant, world-class wines on the characteristic granite bottom of the Dão

A Descoberta. The mystery of the box found inside one of the walls of Casa da Passarella is finally resolved. The story begins in 1942, when a box is secretly hidden in the stone walls of a room in the Casa da Passarella by their former owners, containing a beautiful handwritten document with instructions to be opened 50 years later. The document, signed by some iconic characters of the time, also contained a last will: that all the riches stored in the box were distributed by the poor. Truth is, neither of those things happened. Only in 2010, when the Casa has undergone works, the box was found and opened. And there was nothing inside. The investigations were advancing, the mystery never has unraveled. When it seemed that resignation would eventually beat persistence, a specialist in unusual events was called to the scene. “The box was actually filled" - explained Professor K. Noronha – “but not with material, tangible things. The box was impregnated with a special substance that reacts with times to come, bringing happiness through wine to those who wish and know how to take advantage of it.” "Now these times to come are already part of the present. And this is a double discovery" – he concluded.
