Quinta do Montalto - Pim Pam Pum Curtimenta

An organic orange wine produced in the Lisboa region from 100% Fernão Pires grapes. The viticulture involves the cultivation of Fernão Pires, a white grape variety known for its aromatic intensity, in the Lisboa terroir. The grapes are harvested and undergo a winemaking process, including destemming and fermentation in stainless steel tanks with full skin contact. This extended skin maceration, a technique typically employed for red wines, extracts tannins and color, resulting in the wine's characteristic amber hue and fuller texture. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, without temperature control. The wine is bottled unfiltered, which may result in some sediment.

Tasting notes for Pim Pam Pum Curtimenta describe an expressive nose with aromas of ripe citrus fruits, stone fruits, and subtle floral notes characteristic of the Fernão Pires variety enhanced by skin contact. On the palate, it is a medium-bodied wine with a crisp acidity that provides a fresh and lively mouthfeel. The tannins, extracted from the extended skin maceration, are well-integrated, contributing structure and a lingering finish. With an alcohol content of 12%, this skin-contact white wine offers a unique profile that pairs well with a variety of dishes, including grilled seafood, roasted vegetables, and soft cheeses.
