Esponente della quinta generazione, Dirk (classe 1964) ha rilevato una classica casa di Porto \u2013 e ha messo tutto sottosopra. Invece di limitarsi a comprare uve, ha acquistato vigneti. Invece di fare solo Porto, ha cominciato a produrre vini fermi. Il risultato: oggi i vini secchi rappresentano l'80 % della produzione e Niepoort \u00e8 considerata una delle realt\u00e0 pi\u00f9 influenti del Portogallo. Il figlio Daniel porta avanti la visione come capo cantina, mentre Dirk avvia senza sosta nuovi progetti, anche nel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lebendigeweine.de\/it\/niepoort-dao\/\">vicino D\u00e3o<\/a>. Nel 2024 Wine Enthusiast ha nominato Niepoort \u201cEuropean Winery of the Year\u201d, un riconoscimento meritato.\n\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-219034 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lebendigeweine.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/galerie1.jpg\" alt=\"Vigneti nella valle del Douro\" \/>\n\n<h2>Scisto, pendii ripidi, vecchie viti<\/h2>\n\nLe spettacolari terrazze del Douro sono patrimonio mondiale dell'UNESCO. Su oltre 80 ettari Niepoort coltiva alcune delle vigne migliori, tra cui la Quinta de N\u00e1poles, con viti fino a 100 anni di et\u00e0. Lo scisto accumula il calore del giorno e lo restituisce di notte, mentre i pendii ripidi costringono le radici a spingersi in profondit\u00e0 nella roccia. Dal 1999 Niepoort lavora in biologico e oggi tutti i vigneti sono certificati biodinamici. I vini da <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lebendigeweine.de\/it\/sorte\/touriga-franca\/\">Touriga Franca<\/a> e da altri vitigni autoctoni nascono dalla tradizionale pigiatura con i piedi nei lagares di granito.\n\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-219035 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lebendigeweine.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/galerie3.jpg\" alt=\"Degustazione dei vini Niepoort\" \/>\n\n<h2>Meno interventi, pi\u00f9 espressione<\/h2>\n\n\u201cIl vino si fa in vigna\u201d \u2013 il credo di Dirk guida ogni fase del lavoro. Vendemmia manuale, fermentazione spontanea con lieviti indigeni, affinamento delicato in grandi botti di legno. I Porto maturano nelle fresche cantine di Vila Nova de Gaia, i vini fermi alla Quinta de N\u00e1poles. Concentrazione grazie alle basse rese, freschezza grazie alla vendemmia precoce: i vini di Niepoort sono l'opposto dei vini muscolosi e surmaturi che per molto tempo sono stati associati al Douro.\n\n<h2>Dal Porto al Nat Cool<\/h2>\n\nLa gamma spazia dalle rarit\u00e0 al piacere senza complicazioni. Il <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lebendigeweine.de\/it\/porto-bioma-crusted-vinha-velha-vinho-do-porto-doc-niepoort\/\">Bioma Crusted<\/a> rivela una vera maestria con i vini invecchiati, mentre il <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lebendigeweine.de\/it\/quinta-da-lomba-niepoort-nat-cool-tinto-terras-do-dao-igp-2021-1000ml\/\">Nat Cool Tinto<\/a> del D\u00e3o, servito leggermente fresco, \u00e8 il rosso estivo perfetto.
