Quinta do Vesuvio is one of the greatest estates of the Douro. The magnificent house, chapel and winery were built in 1827. Vesuvio has been considered one of the most important properties of the Douro throughout its long history. Pombal do Vesuvio comes from the terraced vineyards that surround the ancient dovecote, 'pombal' in Portuguese, situated at 200 meters in the heart of this beautiful and remote property. These vineyards are primarily planted with Touriga Nacional, the most prestigious variety of the region. Intense, deep red colour. Smoky, forest floor aromas with hints of wild berries. Full-bodied and muscular on the palate, full and rounded with delicious ripened fruit.
