Port wine: 2003 vintage named “Best Wine in the World”- Italy

After 15 years of studies, world renowned wine expert, Luca Gardini, (Best Sommelier in the World), named Quinta do Noval Silval Vintage Port 2003 the “Best Wine in the World.”

A profile of the selected Port vintage tops the experts’ selection of the 50 best wines of the world in the Enciclopedia del vino, published in Italy, by  Luca Gardini, Pierluigi Gorgoni with journalists Andrea Grignaffini and Marco Pozzali.

The publication includes an interesting new classification of the 3,000 Best Wines & Top 100 world producers.

Produced exclusively in the northern Douro Valley region, the Quinta do Noval Port 2003 vintage, considered a unique wine, is very deep in color, beautifully fresh, well defined, sweet and fruity, very pure and elegant.

The selected vintage is produced in small quantities, only 200 to 250 cases year, or about 1,200 to 5,000 cases per year of declaration. It represents a small number in the Quinta do Noval wine production.

One of its unique characteristics is the usage of grapes from ungrafted vines untouched by Phylloxera found in a small area of the Noval vineyards.
