Enoteca Douro Tinto

Description

It was in 1927 that 11 partners, led by Domingos Silva and Ângelo Neves, founded Aliança in Sangalhos (Anadia), which now boasts over 80 years of history. The company immediately began exporting to Brazil, Africa, and Europe, and today more than 50 % of its production is destined for export—especially wines, sparkling wines, and brandies—showcasing the Aliança brand in Portugal and in roughly 60 countries. In 2007 Bacalhôa Vinhos de Portugal acquired the majority stake in Aliança, bringing it under the Bacalhôa Group and renaming Caves Aliança S.A. to Aliança Vinhos de Portugal S.A., alongside a revamp of its institutional image. Bacalhôa Vinhos de Portugal, one of the largest and most innovative wine companies in the country, has built a solid reputation over the years with a wide range of wines favored by both national and international consumers. With operations in seven Portuguese wine regions, 1,200 ha of vineyards, 40 estates, 40 grape varieties, and four winemaking centers, the company stands out for its size and 70 % autonomy in its own production.
