Producer Filipa Pato

PORTUGAL

Filipa Pato Winery is located near the town of Coimbra, in the Portuguese region of Barraida. Filipa is a predestined fact, his father Luis Pato was himself a winegrower and was one of the first prominent people in Portugal to be able to communicate the excellence of Portuguese wines to the whole world. Filipa started its business in 2001 trying to acquire the best vineyards for the production of white grapes; Bical and Maria gomes, and for the red Baga. From the beginning it has focused on biodynamic viticulture with low yields per hectare, elimination of any chemical substance, attention focused on the use of copper and zinc, and above all to the experimentation of new forms of vinification, from the aging of the barrique to that in terracotta amphora. From 2010 she is accompanied on this trip by her husband William, a well-known sommelier. All the wines of Filipa Pato are territorial wines, together with tradition and innovation, and we feel the classic method: the 3B Blanc de Blanc produced with Baga and Bicale.
