Port wine house Vallegre:

The winery is owned by the Cunha Barros family, who have cultivated wine for 5 generations and are deeply committed to port wine production. The family's focus has always been the production of port wine, but they also make high-quality wines from both white and red wines.
In addition to Vallegre, the family also owns the old family property Quinta Valle Longo and 2 other properties. However, the family's activities primarily originate from Quinta Vista Alegre, which is located deep in the Douro valley near the town of Pinhao. The name Vallegre – Vinhos do Porto, founded in 1998, derives from the names of two of their most important Quiantas. Villa Longo and Vista Alegre.
The Quinta's vineyards cover an area of approx. 55 hectares and planted with the region's many grape varieties, where the vines are old and some are close to 100 years old. Some of the vineyards have a long recognized history of producing wine dating back to the 19th century. This is a conclusion from books specializing in tribal typologies and from some of the abandoned terraces, also known as Mortorios.
At Vista Alegre, the old Lagars are still used, where the grapes are trodden with bare feet.
