About this product
Filipa Pato's 'Nossa Calcário' (Our Limestone) is the most elegant and food-friendly expression of Baga — aged in large neutral oak for minimal intervention. From limestone-over-clay soils in the heart of Bairrada: lighter ruby, with dried cherry, red plum, dried herb, and an earthy mineral character. The wine's natural approach preserves Baga's freshness without the aggressive tannin of traditional Bairrada. Ready at 3-5 years; drinks beautifully for 10 years.
Pairing intelligence
complement
The most authentic Bairrada pairing: leitão (suckling pig roasted until the skin is shatteringly crispy) and Filipa Pato's lighter-style Baga. The wine's dried cherry and herbal precision cuts through the rich, fatty pig skin while the granite mineral echoes the crackling's mineral character. Orange amplifies the wine's citrus freshness. A pairing of absolute regional identity.

Filipa Pato's natural Baga — lighter and fresher than traditional Bairrada — finds an elegant pairing with smoked duck breast. The wine's dried cherry and earthy herb character bridges the smoke; beetroot's earthy sweetness amplifies the wine's mineral note; aged vinegar provides the acid bridge. A sophisticated Bairrada pairing for the natural wine enthusiast.
