But the knowledge to make it is ancestral. The recipes have been handed from generation to generation and with them, the secrets that bring food to it’s maximum power and exuberant flavours. The Alentejo offers you an unforgettable palatal experience with red wines of loaded colours, firm structure with dense aromas of mature fruits and with great persistence.
