Cidadelhe

Located between Mesão Frio and Peso da Régua, Quinta do Côtto is in a privileged situation. With vineyards surrounding the house, there are different exposures always on schist soils. 

Very old vineyards, many of them over 100 years old and planted between 120 and 430m above sea level. A sight worth witnessing only 90kms from Porto city center.
