Perdiz foot, but in the vineyard

The same caste can change its name from earth to earth.

The Green Wine Commission identifies Pé de Pardiz as a name for Arinto in Cabeceiras de Basto. He 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 caste. The CVRVV portrait adds large, compact curls 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.
