The Oporto Piano LBV Port Wine is a treasure from the Carlos Alonso Winery in the Porto Designation of Origin in Portugal.

The Oporto Piano LBV is a fortified and sweet wine produced in the Douro region, in the Porto Designation of Origin. This region is characterized by its terraces in the mountains, where the vines are cultivated on steep slopes. The unique climate and diverse soil of the Douro contribute to the creation of high-quality and characterful wines.

The Carlos Alonso Winery takes pride in its long tradition of producing Oporto wines. Founded in the 19th century, this winery has been passed down from generation to generation, transmitting the knowledge and techniques necessary to produce high-quality wines. Their commitment to excellence is reflected in every bottle of Oporto Piano LBV Wine that leaves their facilities.

The foundation of the Oporto Piano LBV Wine is the indigenous grape varieties of Portugal, especially the Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, and Tinta Barroca. These grapes are characterized by their intensity of flavor and their contribution to the complexity of the wine. The Carlos Alonso Winery carefully selects grapes from the oldest and highest-quality vineyards to ensure excellence in each harvest.

The process of making Oporto Piano LBV Wine is meticulous and requires time and patience. After the harvest, the grapes are stomped in traditional stone lagares to extract the juice and aromas. Then, the must ferments slowly with the addition of wine alcohol, which stops the fermentation and preserves the natural sweetness of the grapes.

After fermentation, the wine is transferred to oak barrels where it ages for several years. During this period, the wine acquires its distinctive character and develops a unique complexity of aromas and flavors. The Carlos Alonso Winery ensures that each barrel is carefully cared for and controlled, allowing the wine to reach its fullness and perfection before being bottled.

The Oporto Piano LBV Wine stands out from other Oporto wines for its character and style. "LBV" stands for "Late Bottled Vintage", indicating that the wine has been bottled after a longer period of aging in barrel. This gives it greater smoothness and structure, as well as greater aromatic complexity.
