DO MONTALTO<br />
The farm of Montalto, owned by the same family along<br />
five generations, has an extension around fifty hectares<br />
covering vineyards, olive yard, orchards and forest,<br />
which, altogether, appear as a magnificent mosaic in<br />
the landscape. Being part of the wide viticultural region<br />
of Lisbon, the 15,5 hectares of vineyards planted in<br />
clayey-chalky soil and benefiting from an excellent<br />
solar exposure, enable the production of wines classified<br />
as DOC Encostas D’Aire.<br />
The farm of Montalto is situated in the central area of<br />
the country in the region of Ourém, near Fátima. In line<br />
with a tradition of winegrowing, several grape varieties<br />
can be found in the farm, in particular Aragonez and<br />
Fernão Pires, the most representative of the red and<br />
white grapes. We can also find the Touriga Nacional,<br />
Trincadeira, Syrah, Baga, Alicante Bouschet, Castelão,<br />
Moreto, Sauvignon, Arinto, Rabo de Ovelha and Olho de<br />
Lebre varieties. In addition to fruity and delicate wines<br />
and sparkling wines, also jams, canned vegetables and<br />
vinegars are prepared in the farm of Montalto, revealing<br />
particular features quite different from those resulting<br />
of the generalised massive and technological industrialization.<br />
To obtain regional products, really genuine and with a<br />
singular taste has been the guideline for the work and<br />
dedication of both, the whole family and the employees<br />
in the farm of Montalto. In a framework of full respect<br />
towards the preservation of the environment, all cultures<br />
in the farm of Montalto are conducted according<br />
the Organic Farming rules with control of ECOCERT-<br />
-PORTUGAL, that is, the use of chemical fertilizers,<br />
herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and other synthetized<br />
chemical products is not allowed. Because we do<br />
not use any animal products, all our wines are suitable<br />
for a vegetarian diet, and are registered in "The Vegan<br />
Society", a UK-based association.<br />
