sanTiago 75 cl Red Wine - 2012

Country: Cape Verde (Cabo Verde)

This wine comes from the island of Fogo, one of the islands of the Cape Verde Southern Archipelago, in the Atlantic Ocean about 14 ° 50 'north latitude. The sun shines the whole year and the small temperature variation between summer and winter (max . 10 ° C difference) gets the grape all the time to grow. An Atlantic sea breeze also has its influence on the softness of these grapes.The virgin volcanic soil is so rich in nutrients, which leads to a wine of superb quality.
