Assobio Assobio red douro 2022

Here's a lovely dry red wine from Portugal — Assobio Assobio's blend of Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo) and Touriga Franca from the 2022 vintage. New to Touriga Nacional? Touriga Nacional is Portugal's most prized red grape, giving deeply colored, structured wines with violet aromatics, blackberry and firm, age-worthy tannins; it is a cornerstone of Port and Douro reds. It's joined by Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo) — the Portuguese name for Tempranillo, contributing firm structure and dark-fruit depth to Douro reds and Port. It's grown on the steep, terraced schist slopes of the Douro Valley — the breathtaking river region that gave the world Port. It loves rich, meaty food — think grilled red meat, braises and a wedge of aged cheese. Best enjoyed at cool room temperature.
