{"product_id":"adega-belem-alvarinho-curtimenta","title":"Adega Belém Urban Winery - Alvarinho Curtimenta","description":"\u003cp\u003eA vibrant, skin‑fermented expression of one of Portugal’s most iconic white grapes. Made in tiny batches inside their urban winery in Belém, this wine takes the aromatic precision of Alvarinho and pushes it into deeper, more textural territory. A short period of skin contact brings a gentle amber hue, layered aromatics, and a tactile grip that feels both ancient and refreshingly modern. It’s Alvarinho with attitude — still bright and lifted, but carrying a quiet wildness that makes each sip more compelling than the last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, it balances citrus and stone‑fruit purity with subtle tannins, savoury herbs, and a mineral edge shaped by native yeasts and minimal intervention. The result is a wine that feels alive: structured yet fluid, aromatic yet grounded, expressive without ever losing its sense of place. Behind it are Catarina Moreira and David Picard, the biologist‑anthropologist duo whose curiosity and cultural storytelling define Adega Belém’s approach. Their curtimenta wines are an exploration of texture, tradition, and the ways fermentation can reveal new sides of familiar grapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Alvarinho pairs beautifully with richer seafood dishes, grilled vegetables, spiced poultry, or anything that benefits from a wine with both freshness and grip. Produced in micro‑lots with a low‑intervention philosophy, it’s a distinctive take on Alvarinho — textural, aromatic, and unmistakably Adega Belém.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"theLAB.Porto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62058033185098,"sku":"W08727","price":18.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0593\/8253\/0206\/files\/unnamed_dec18f9c-a4d4-4dc3-8a76-b88a15383f0b.png?v=1780939672","url":"https:\/\/thelabporto.com\/products\/adega-belem-alvarinho-curtimenta","provider":"theLAB.Porto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
