Canto X Rosé is an Alentejo wine that delights from the very first sip. Produced from the noble grape varieties Aragonês, Syrah, and Touriga Nacional, it is born from the harmony of terroir and winemaking tradition, reflecting the authenticity of this Portuguese region .
Canto X Rosé: A Story Inspired by the Alentejo
The name Canto X Rosé recalls the “abelharuco,” a bird with a unique song, companion of the Alentejo harvest. This strong connection between nature, Mediterranean climate, and local know-how results in a rosé wine that embodies the soul of the region .
The vineyards are 10 years old, planted on quartz and diorite soils at 340 meters altitude, with northeast exposure. Bilateral conduction and mechanical harvest ensure quality preservation and efficiency.
Winemaking of Canto X Rosé
The winemaking of Canto X Rosé follows the process normally used for white wines. After a short, cool maceration, pressing and fermentation in stainless steel tanks take place at low temperature, preserving the fresh aromatic profile. This method delivers a balanced and expressive rosé .
