Folias de Baco, Uivo, Alvarinho, Douro, Portugal Gavin Patterson Believe when we say thisTiago Sampaio farms in the Douro Valley however he's doing everything a little bit differently. Rather than farming near the river he is growing at high altitude which helps slow down ripening, increase complexity and maintain freshness in the wines. Another differing factor is the soil type, his vines are growing in a shist clay granite mix in contrast to the more usual shist slate soils elsewhere. This Alvarinho is taken from 8 different sites
