Vinho d’Autor Tinto is a red wine produced by Sidónio de Sousa in Portugal’s Bairrada wine region, made primarily from the indigenous Baga grape, the signature variety of the area. The grapes come from vineyards planted on the clay-limestone soils typical of Bairrada, which give the wines their structure and aging potential.

Aromatically, the wine shows notes of red and dark berries such as cherry and blackberry, along with hints of spices, dried herbs, and subtle earthy nuances. On the palate it is structured and lively, with pronounced acidity and firm yet ripe tannins characteristic of the Baga variety.

The style emphasizes the traditional character of the region, with fermentation and aging contributing to complexity and balance. With time in the bottle, the wine can develop additional layers of aroma including dried fruit and subtle leather notes.

Vinho d’Autor Tinto represents a classic interpretation of Bairrada red wines, expressing the region’s distinctive terroir. It also shows good aging potential and pairs well with rich meat dishes and traditional Portuguese cuisine.
