Vadio Espumante Brut Rosé is a sparkling wine produced by the Portuguese winery Vadio with the Baga variety in the DOC Bairrada, in Beiras.
Vadio is Luis Patrao’s family project. A winemaker who, after gaining experience in some of the most important wine regions of the world, decided to start his own winery. Under a name that means lazy in Portuguese, Patrao makes wines from native varieties and with the maximum expression of the terroir.
Aiming to explore the versatility of the berry, Vadio Espumante Brut Rosé comes from native vines with an average age of 30 years old that are cultivated under organic certification. The grapes are not allowed to get too ripe, in order to achieve a dominant acidity.
In the winery, they are pressed in whole bunches and with very gentle extractions. The Vadio Espumante Brut Rosé must is fermented in stainless steel tanks and used barrels. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle and in contact with the lees for 18 months. Finally, disgorgement takes place with the subsequent addition of expedition liqueur.
Vadio Espumante Brut Rosé is a fresh and vibrant sparkling wine that, as the name Vadio suggests, is perfect for putting work aside and enjoying a glass of fine and elegant bubbles.
