Story of the wine:

Casa Américo was born from Américo Seabra’s dream of producing wines that express his homeland, Vila Nova de Tazem, situated in the sub-region of Serra da Estrela, region of Dão. This is one of the most distinctive Dão’s terroirs where noble wines with a unique freshness and elegance are produced. When he emigrated to the United States, in 1967, took his wife and his six children, but his heart always belonged to Portugal. Around 2000, he returned to Portugal to fulfil his dream of producing wines in these mountainous lands. In 2009, the son’s decided that they should support and fulfil their father’s dream. Casa Américo was founded. Honour Mr. Américo Seabra’s memory, who produces wines that express the region and simultaneously develop and enhance it - This is the Casa Américo mission. Terroir of granitic soils, with an altitude between 400 and 600 Meters, influenced by the mountain with 2,000 Mts of altitude.
