Tiago Sampaio, known for his mineral-rich, high altitude Pinot Noirs, received his PhD in Viticulture from Oregon State (Go Beavers.) His other fave grape is Moscatel Galego (Muscat a Petit Grains.) For Curtido PT NAT, partially de-stemmed grapes are macerated for 4 months in giant cement tanks, begin their fermentation spontaneously, then finish it in a beer-capped bottle. No filtration. Just unfeigned fizz.
