This dish is delicious, the combination of spicy flavors and strong contrast to the freshness and citrus flavors of the wine works very well. A perfect marriage. The wine is wonderful, I recommend to all lovers.

Friends: Rui and myself

Wine : Fita Preta

Made from grapes typical of the Alentejo, the wine had almost no intervention highlighting the true aromas and flavors of the region.
Tasting notes: lemon yellow color, intense flavors of pineapple and citrus with subtle mineral notes. Impressive freshness , good fruit. In the end good persistence.
