Bico da Ran

Bico da Ran is a white wine produced by the winery Fento Wines in the subarea Valle de Salnés (Pontevedra) in D.O. Rías Baixas.

Eulogio Pomares, prime mover of Zárate, is the alma mater of Fento Wines, a family-run winery that began its journey in 2012 with the clear objective of making Galician wines with a modern style, and with maximum respect for the natural surroundings and tradition.

They advocate for local varieties, indigenous to Rías Baixas, giving great importance to the vine-soil-climate-wine grower group, as a whole. They work with small wine growers that share the philosophy of rational work and respect for the environment.

The vines are located in the province of Pontevedra, in different subareas like Valle de Salnés or Condado de Tea, in D.O. Rías Baixas. Vines are planted on "Xabre" soils, a name given traditionally to sandy soils with weathered granite. Their vines are trained in the pergola or "emparrado" style.

Bico da Ran is a wine made from Albariño, from the best vineyards in Valle do Salnés, at 150 metres above sea level and planted on mica and silicate soils. Harvested is performed by hand, and cold fermentation is carried out with local yeasts. Once it is stabilised and filtered, it is bottled in the town of Meis.

Bico da Ran is an intense, fresh wine with a lot of aroma. An electric Albariño.
