Romano Cunha

A work of art of a great oenologist consecrated all over the world the Spanish Raul Perez, and the winemaker Mario Romano Cunha who on his property, with his zeal, and a lot of wisdom shows to the world that Tras-os-Montes (very close to Mirandela in the North) produces wines that can be compared to the best wines of the world.

Moreover, its small production and its wines are real gems.

They are sold quickly, and as they are wines that the more time passes, the more they improve, the more difficult it is to acquire them. 

A wine for connoisseurs. Each opened bottle will bring unforgettable sensations.

To taste absolutely or to keep in your cellar.

The Romano Cunha are among the best examples of transmontano today. They have a classic profile, they are impregnated with terroir, in some way they mirror rusticity... But a good rusticity.
 

"For these lands, the tradition is millennial, the history of wine behind these hills and mountains is ancient and almost kept under key by those who have always lived there."

Today, it is wine projects, such as that of Romano Cunha, that make the ear, nose and mouth stick to what is done there in the wine matter.

And the reasons are more than numerous. One of them is the non-repeatable identity of the wines. Irreplaceable by the harshness of the climate, the harsh winter and hot summer, marked by the altitude and the protection of the Atlantic effects by the hills, and a wine heritage almost untouchable yet. Romano Cunha, is part of this universe, and the new and good that is done there. 

And taking advantage of the reconverted vineyard, also having at his disposal an 80 year old vineyard, in which pontificated the Tinta Amarela and Bastardo, that is to say that the raw material of quality was not lacking. In addition, at the time of the conversion of the vineyard, he received the help of Daniel Perez, brother of the famous Spanish winemaker Raul Perez.

The vineyard is also designed to be mechanized, including laser alignment techniques. Daniel who gave a hand in the viticulture and Raul in the cellar, in crucial supports, in the small and big details that make the difference.

Do not expect wines, nothing less than wines of little aromatic conversation or trivial facilities.

On the contrary, these are wines with parallel fiber and transmontana.

Pointing to maximum quality, yields are very low, wines molded by granitic soils at 400 and 500 meters above sea level, no herbicides, very few mornings on the ground, very few treatments, a little sulfur, here and there, as Mário Cunha points out comparing with the famous neighboring region:

"While in the Douro they do eight or nine treatments, here we do one per precaution. It is no coincidence that this region is one of those with the highest organic agricultural production in the country."

"Romano Cunha are wines to know, distinct, already of a certain cult, of reduced productions, not to be missed by those who appreciate that wave of quality that blows behind the hills. "
