Espumantes
Espumantes (Sparkling)
Due to the requirement of high acidity, sparkling wines are typically produced in cooler regions of the country. Bairrada sparkling wine is highly regarded and crafted from quickly-pressed red Baga or Touriga Nacional grapes, aromatic white Maria Gomes, Arinto, Bical, and occasionally Chardonnay. The cool, high-altitude Távora-Varosa region, situated south of the Douro and north of Dão, produces sparkling wines using Malvasia Fina grapes and is increasingly incorporating Champagne grapes like Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Vinho Verde, which typically produces lightly effervescent wines, added fully sparkling wines to its regulations in time for the Millennium.
When and how to drink:
Sparkling wine is an excellent beverage choice during the heat of summer as it provides refreshment, and during the cold of winter, it can lift spirits. It is a perfect accompaniment to fish and seafood. In addition, sparkling wine pairs well with dressed salads, as its acidity and mild sweetness complement the dressing as well as the sweetness of the salad and vegetable ingredients. Furthermore, the natural sweetness of vegetable dishes often pairs well with the slight sweetness of sparkling wines.
