The Vino Oporto Piano Black Ruby Reserva is a jewel from the Carlos Alonso winery, located in the prestigious Porto designation of origin in Portugal.

One of the distinctive characteristics of the Vino Oporto Piano Black Ruby Reserva is its choice of grape varieties. The Carlos Alonso winery uses the following varieties to make this wine: Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca, Tinta Barroca. These grapes are native to the Duero region in Portugal and have been used for centuries in the production of port wines.

The process of making the Vino Oporto Piano Black Ruby Reserva begins with the careful selection of the grapes. Only the ripest and highest quality grapes are used, ensuring excellence in every bottle. Once selected, the grapes are pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. During this process, the characteristic flavors and aromas of the grapes are extracted, resulting in a wine with a unique personality.

After fermentation, the wine undergoes a period of aging in oak barrels. This aging period is crucial for the development of the wine's flavors and complexity. In the case of the Vino Oporto Piano Black Ruby Reserva, the aging time can vary, but it usually ranges from 4 to 6 years. During this time, the wine acquires an elegant structure and a rich palette of flavors.

Once the wine has reached the desired maturity, it is bottled and sealed for commercialization. It is important to note that the Vino Oporto Piano Black Ruby Reserva is a fortified wine, which means that grape brandy is added during the fermentation process to stop it and maintain certain levels of sweetness and alcohol. This traditional fortification technique is what gives the wine its characteristic balance between sweetness and acidity.
