Cas’Amaro, Falatório Branco, 2022, Lisboa (VR)

'One-Liner'
Fresh, organic Lisboa white – citrus, green-apple and a gentle tropical lift.

Tasting Note
Light straw in the glass. Aromas lead with citrus and crisp green apple, backed by subtle tropical hints. The palate is very fresh and lightly rounded – clean orchard-fruit flavours and a long, appealing finish. Serve well chilled.

The Story
Falatório is part of Cas’Amaro’s Lisboa range, made close to the Atlantic-influenced hills of Alenquer. The 2022 Branco blends native Fernão Pires, Arinto and Sercial. Grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed and crushed on arrival; the must is chilled to ~8 °C before fermentation, aiming to preserve brightness and fruit purity. The style is dry, fresh and easy to enjoy.

Perfect With... (click me for the recipe)
- Fish: Garlic prawns with lemon & parsley over tomato rice – citrus and sea-spray freshness meet the wine’s zippy, Atlantic-coast profile.
- Vegetarian: Grilled courgette, pea & mint orzo with lemon zest – green, herbal notes echo the wine’s citrus–apple lift.
- Vegan: Crispy chickpea, roasted pepper & herb salad with olive oil and lemon – bright, crunchy and citrus-led to mirror the refreshing finish.
