About This Wine


Is It Arte?

Vinho Tinto

Discover the beautiful world of Portuguese wine. Our Is it Arte? Vinho Tinto answers its own question. With rich notes of oak, spice and dark fruit, there's no doubt this is a true masterpiece of flavor. Portugal may be famous for its lusciously sweet port wine, but there are plenty of dry red wines to explore. These bold blends typically feature the country's native grape varieties like Touriga Nacional, Castelão and Tinta Roriz. The first two grapes add firm tannins and rich fruit flavors, while Tinta Roriz, the Portuguese name for Tempranillo, brings a softer character to the blend. Much like the street art on this label, this wine will catch your eye and win you over with its unique charm and stunning individuality. We are excited to offer this hidden gem and eager for you to share it with your friends. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

Wine Region


Portugal

Best known for its port dessert wine, Portugal is also home to some seriously worthwhile—though frequently overlooked—red and white table wines. This small country on the Iberian Peninsula has a wide range of climates, allowing it to produce everything from light and crisp whites in the Atlantic-cooled northwest to ripe and juicy reds in the hot and hilly Douro Valley. What often sets apart Portuguese wines is that they are often made from local grapes rather than more familiar international varieties. Difficult to pronounce (but a joy to drink!), common varietals include Touriga Nacional, Tinta Cão, and Loureiro.
