It is in the most Demarcated region of Douro, in the Alto Douro Vinhateiro, that the famous Port wine is produced. The river strolled between the steep slopes but it was the Man who turned the schist mountains into earth and walls and planted the vineyard there, green in the spring and fire-colored in the fall.
An ecosystem of unique value was created, where the characteristics of the soil are improved by the built terraces, preserving the vineyard of the erosion and allowing the slopes to be cultivated.
