Porto
Porto is a fortified wine produced in the Douro Valley of Portugal, recognized as a Denominação de Origem Controlada (DOC). The appellation encompasses the city of Porto and its surrounding areas, where wines are typically aged in barrels before bottling. The production process involves the addition of grape spirit to halt fermentation, resulting in a higher alcohol content and residual sugar.
