What distinguishes Vinho Verde wines from other Portuguese wines?

Vinho Verde wines are appreciated around the world, and without a doubt, these are youth wines with sparkling qualities, finely tinged by petillance. This kind of wine is traditionally produced here, in the northwest of the country, using the local grape varieties such as Alvarinho and Loureiro that present quenching and refreshing dresses, with vivid acid notes. Their light-bodied consistency, low alcohol content, and balanced acidity speak volumes about the food-friendly nature of Vinho Verde wines and they go well with seafood, salads, and light appetizers which are perfect to enjoy on a summer day.
