Tinto Cão

Tinto Cão is an ancient red grape variety native to Portugal's Douro Valley, historically prized as one of the key blending grapes in traditional Port wine production. It produces deeply colored wines with high acidity, moderate tannins, and flavors of dark berries, spice, and subtle floral notes, with impressive aging potential. Though low-yielding and difficult to grow, it has gained appreciation as a single-varietal wine in recent years, particularly in the Douro and Dão regions of Portugal.
