Ciconia Tinto
Earth Friendly Winery
£9.95
Seemingly constatly picking up gongs for brilliant value for money (Wine Spectator and others), Ciconia Tinto combines approachability with Alentejo's most likeable features of rich, soft fruit, with a bit of roast and dried fruit notes. Unoaked, and doesn't need or want for it.
Ciconia, for the benefit of non-twitchers, is the latin genus for the stork. And Ciconia Ciconia is the white stork, which so likes to breed in this region.
