Manicomio Tinto

The bouquet is aromatic and fresh, it has a delicate talc, musky, floral and spice lift with a super subtle pick of striated tannins, making for a gentle interplay of tannin, juice and fresh from tip to animated toe. The palate brings fruit, but is fresh but soft and creamy at the same time – with character showing lavender and mineral notes. Complex fruit flavours, earthiness and minerality. Fresh acidity, textured with a long finish.

Arribas Wine Company began to take shape in May 2017 on a visit to Bemposta, a village in the municipality of Mogadouro. The richness of the region’s wine heritage, both due to its old vineyards and the edaphoclimatic conditions, led us to make the decision to move forward with a wine production project. We started this project in a small garage that functioned, for many years, as a private cellar. The main winery is located in the old part of the village of Bemposta and, due to the fact that it is based on mother rock, it allows to maintain a cool and constant temperature. We opted for traditional methods of production and, in this sense, the equipment of the winery is limited to a vertical basket press and oak barrels. We aim to produce authentic, light, easy-to-drink wines and for that reason we try to make them as pure as possible.
