Wine from talha is an ancestral winemaking tradition that dates back to Roman times and is characterised by the method of production in large clay amphorae, known as Talhas. This process involves fermenting and maturing the wine inside these clay containers, giving it its unique characteristics. Talhas allow the wine to gradually interact with oxygen, contributing to its evolution and complexity. This method preserves cultural traditions and regional characteristics, resulting in distinctive wines, often associated with regions like Portugal, where the practice persists, representing a link between history and modernity in wine production.
