The name TRUFA (truffle) was chosen because there are several analogies between this wine and a truffle:
- Both come from the earth, are rare and exclusive.
- Both have a unique flavor and great quality.
- Both help to enrich and make a meal unique.

Vineyard

TRUFA is a wine produced with grapes from old vineyards (+ 60 years) of Quinta do Olival Velho, located on the left bank of the Douro River, between Régua and Pinhão. The schist soil vineyard has a blend of approximately 30 different native grape varieties, and is located between 300/350mts altitude with northern exposure, which gives the wine a great freshness. With an average yield of 250g/grape, these vineyards produce grapes of exceptional quality.

Vinification

After careful manual selection on the picking belt, the grapes were destemmed and fermented in a granite press with treading for 7 days.

Aging

After malolactic fermentation, the wine aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, 40% new and the rest used.
