Exagium Tinto Cão Red

Exagium Tinto Cão Red is a Portuguese red wine made from Tinto Cão, one of the oldest and rarest native grapes of northern Portugal. Single variety Tinto Cão is hard to find, so this is a bottle for curious drinkers who want to taste something most wine lovers have only read about.

Tasting notes

Tinto Cão is a low yielding grape traditionally grown in the Douro and the Dão. It is prized for its freshness, fine structure and ability to age, and it tends to give reds with red and black berry fruit, floral notes and a long, elegant finish rather than sheer power.

Food pairing

Open it with roast lamb with herbs, duck magret, a mushroom risotto or a mature Serra da Estrela cheese.
