Alianca Portugese White
A crisp Portuguese white from the Minho, stocked in Commack.
The story behind Alianca
Vinho Verde comes from Portugal's green, rainy northwest, the Minho region, where grapes like Loureiro, Arinto and Trajadura grow close to the Atlantic. The wines are bottled young and meant to be drunk young: light in alcohol, high in acidity, with a faint spritz and a clean, citrusy snap.
We keep Alianca Vinho Verde in the Portuguese white section here in Commack. It is a small allocation for us, one or two bottles at a time, so it comes and goes quickly. Ask us at the counter and we will tell you what is on the shelf today.
