Product Information

Uivo Alvarinho is a vibrant, high-altitude expression of Portugal’s iconic Alvarinho grape, crafted in the Douro Valley by renowned winemaker Tiago Sampaio of Folias de Baco. Unlike traditional coastal Alvarinho, this wine brings a unique minerality and structure, thanks to six months on lees and a mix of schist, clay, and granite soils. The nose is bright and aromatic, bursting with lime zest, white peach, and a hint of fresh mint, while the palate is precise, textured, and layered with citrus, stone fruit, and a subtle saline edge. The natural vibrancy and crisp acidity make it an exciting, food-friendly white with a long, mouth-watering finish.

Crafted by Tiago Sampaio of Folias de Baco, Uivo Alvarinho is sourced from high-altitude vineyards (550-700m) in the Cima Corgo region, where cooler temperatures slow ripening, enhance complexity, and preserve freshness. The wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel, is unfined, unfiltered, and produced with minimal sulphur, staying true to organic and low-intervention winemaking principles. With a focus on terroir-driven wines, Tiago is redefining Douro Valley white wines, proving that Alvarinho can thrive beyond its traditional coastal origins.
