What The Fellas Say

One sip of this subtle, complex tinto and you’ll be transported deep into the high rocky hills of the Dão region. Keep drinking. Breathe in the wild flowers and river stones. Taste the ancient soil and old gnarled forests. Born at altitude from a single harvest, old vine field blend, and aged in steel and oak for over a year, this wine tells a story as old as the hills.

What The Sommelier Says

Open ruby color, complex aroma with notes of exotic wood, anise, bouquet of wild flowers, damp earth and stone minerality. On the palette, forest notes dominate, combined with a lot of freshness and elegance. Long and persistent finish.

Pairs well with…

…a creamy, smoky carbonara, a slow roast beef loin, game or meaty fish. Decant and let breathe an hour or so.

About The Winemakers

Casa Américo was born from Américo Seabra’s dream of producing wines that express his homeland, Vila Nova de Tazem, located in the heart of the Serra da Estrela sub-region, in the Dão region. This is one of the most distinctive terroirs of the Dão, where noble wines with unique freshness and elegance are produced. When he emigrated to the United States in 1967, he took his wife and six young children with him, but his heart always remained in Portugal. Around the year 2000, he returned to Portugal to fulfill his dream of producing wines in these mountainous lands. In 2009, his children decided that they should support and realize their father’s dream. Thus, Casa Américo was born. The mission of Casa Américo is to honor the memory of Américo Seabra by producing wines that best express the Serra da Estrela region while simultaneously developing and enhancing it.
