Cavalo Maluco (Crazy Horse)

A wine with a rich and eclectic aroma, floral notes such as black fruit, chocolate, spices and smoke. Very earthy. Intense and deep garnet color.

A characterful wine named after a Sioux chief. “Cavalo Maluco” means “crazy horse”, the name of this chief who bravely fought for the survival of his tribe. Indomitable, courageous but at the same time sensitive and dignified, in any case a personality beyond compare. Cavalo Maluco from the Herdade do Portocarro winery pays tribute to his personality with this wine and the result can be seen and tasted. An intense wine with a variety of aromas that taste floral, spicy, chocolaty and berry.

The fresh notes unfold elegantly in an aromatic richness and precede a long and persistent finish that ranges from smoky to earthy and provides a distinctive structure in the mouth.
