Trincadeira is a red grape variety primarily grown in Portugal, particularly in the Alentejo and Dão regions. Known for its thick skin, it produces wines that are rich in color and flavor, often featuring notes of dark fruits, spices, and herbs. The grape thrives in warm climates and is well-suited to the Mediterranean environment. Wines made from Trincadeira are typically full-bodied with moderate acidity and tannins, making them suitable for aging. This variety is often blended with other grapes, such as Alicante Bouschet and Touriga Nacional, to enhance complexity and balance in the final wine.
