"Montalegre naturally offers ideal conditions for the aging and maturation of mountain wines. Montalegre also experiences lower atmospheric pressure and oxygen concentrations due to its altitude, as well as a mild climate with fewer temperature peaks, which favors the controlled evolution of aromatic and gustatory characteristics throughout the aging period of a wine seeking character.
And Mont'Alegre has character: wines produced from the native grape varieties of the Trás-os-Montes region, originating from vineyards planted in predominantly granitic soils at altitudes above 650 meters. Later, everything happens in Montalegre, thanks to the superb natural conditions for aging and maturing wines, endowing them with freshness, balance, and elegance. Above all, giving them identity." -winery
