Beira Interior — three wine subregions and a stop in Castelo Rodrigo

The rows of vines near Cinco Vilas offer a view of the high ground around Castelo Rodrigo, one of the three subregions of Beira Interior.

The Portuguese wine institute identifies Castelo Rodrigo, Pinhel and Cova da Beira as the three subregions of the denomination. In the north, Castelo Rodrigo and Pinhel lie on different sides of the Côa. Compare the names on the labels to see where each wine comes from. The photograph shows autumn vines within the Castelo Rodrigo subregion.
