€ 15.00
A Madeira wine with a pleasant and intense aroma of caramel and hints of maple syrup and a sublime medium to long finish. At the end of the 17th century, “Quinta das Cruzes” had its first major transformations, when it came into possession of a distinguished family - the Lomelino. The origin of this family goes back to Urbano Lomelino and João Baptista Lomelino, merchants of Genoese origin, whose presence on the island dates from 1476 in Santa Cruz.
The company was named after Tarquino Torquarto de Camara Lomelino who took over the firm of Roberto Leal in 1820 and began shipping wines under his own name. The firm was inherited after his death by his sister Anna who was married to Carlo de Bianchi, a ship owner of Genoese origin. Lomelino supplied wines to the Swedish Royal Family. The company became part of the Madeira Wine Association alongside Power Drury in 1934 and Antonio de Bianchi was the first technical director of MWA. His son, Ferdinando Bianchi, who died in 2006, was general manager of MWA in the 1960s and 1970s. Until recently the Lomelino family house on the Rua das Mercès served as the administrative headquarters for the Madeira Wine Company.
