Avesso

Avesso is a white wine grape that is primarily grown in the Vinho Verde region of Portugal. This region is known for its cool climate and granite soils, which provide the perfect conditions for growing this grape. Avesso is also grown in other regions of Portugal, such as Douro and Bairrada.

Avesso grapes produce wines that are characterized by their vibrant acidity and fresh, citrusy flavors. The wines are typically medium-bodied with a crisp and refreshing finish. Avesso wines often exhibit notes of green apple, lemon, and lime, with hints of floral and mineral undertones.

The grape is known for its ability to retain its acidity even in warmer climates, making it a versatile choice for winemakers. It is often used in blends to add complexity and balance to the final wine.

Avesso wines are best enjoyed young, as they are meant to be consumed within a few years of their release. They pair well with a variety of dishes, including seafood, salads, and light poultry dishes.
