The producer
Vallegre is based at Quinta da Vista Alegre, in the Cima Corgo, on the right bank of the Douro between the mouth of the Pinhão and Covas do Douro. The quinta’s vineyards have been making wine since the 19th century. The quinta belongs to the Cunha Barros family, and in 1998 the company took the name Vallegre, a blend of its two main quintas: Valle Longo and Vista Alegre.
At Quinta da Vista Alegre the grapes for Port are still foot-trodden in old stone lagares. Besides Port, Vallegre also makes unfortified Douro wines.
