VINHO VERDE REGION
Vinho Verde is the largest wine-producing region in the northwest of Portugal, characterized by a cold climate with a lot of rain.
This region is dominated by green tones from the lush vegetation typical of a region with a lot of humidity. However, the name Vinhos Verdes is not only due to the environment where the vineyards grow: it is in this region that a typically acidic, light, moderately alcoholic wine with excellent digestive properties is produced.
