A very original red wine, silky and with strong minerality. Pardusco was the name given to the great red wines of Monção and Melgaço in the 14th century, which were the first to be exported to England. Characterized by their light color and low extraction, made from the Alvarelhão (Brancelho) grape, they were the foundation of the glory of the Monção wine region.
