Caves Aliança Galeria Castelão Nacional Tinto

Description

It was in 1927 that 11 members, led by Domingos Silva and Ângelo Neves, decided to found the Aliança in Sangalhos (Anadia), which now boasts over 80 years of history. The company began exporting immediately to Brazil, Africa and Europe, and today more than 50 % of its production is destined for export—primarily wines, sparkling wines and brandies—representing Aliança’s brand image in Portugal and in the roughly 60 countries to which it exports. In 2007 Bacalhôa Vinhos de Portugal acquired a majority stake in Aliança, transferring it to the Bacalhôa Group and changing the corporate name from Caves Aliança S.A. to Aliança Vinhos de Portugal S.A., at which point the institutional image was also updated. Bacalhôa Vinhos de Portugal, one of Portugal’s largest and most innovative wine companies, has built a wide range of wines over the years that have earned it a solid reputation and the preference of both national and international consumers. With a presence in seven Portuguese wine regions, covering 1,200 ha of vineyards, 40 estates, 40 different varieties and four winemaking centers (cellars), the company stands out in the market for its size and its 70 % autonomy in own production.
