Tonight it was time for some corn and marinated tofu carbonara! (Don’t hate me, I am omnivorous and love to try veggie equivalents to meaty dishes)

This Aliança only comes out in the best years and it is a perfect example of the best Baga varietal from probably the most underrated region in Portugal. This wine is a long and soft punch of black plum with cedar and forest floor. While the nose is filled with blueberry and violet the palate adds chocolate notes with the dominant black fruit staying in a velvety harmony with its high acidity. Amazing price quality ratio!
