The Committee of Green Wines identifies Pé de Perdiz as a name of Arinto in Cabeceiras de Basto. It also mentions Pedernã in the region and Perdigão in Mondim. Knowing these names helps to hear the stories of the vineyard: a local designation does not in itself mean a different variety.
The CVRVV portrait adds large and compact bunches, with small berries. The grape variety enters both wines made only with Arinto and in combinations of white grape varieties. Traditional name, grape appearance and wine composition are three different clues to explore the same story.
