Quinta do Montalto
The Quinta do Montalto, owned by the same family for five generations, has around fifty hectares of vineyards, olive yards, orchards and forest, which, altogether, appear as a magnificent mosaic in the landscape.
Being part of the wide viticultural region of Lisbon, the 15,5 hectares of vineyards planted in clayey-chalky soil and benefiting from an excellent solar exposure, enabling the production of wines classified as DOC Encostas D’Aire.
In addition to fruity and delicate wines, including sparkling wines, jams, canned vegetables, vinegars are also prepared in the Montalto farm, revealing particular features quite different from those resulting of the generalised massive and technological industrialization.
To obtain regional products, really genuine and with a singular taste has been the guideline for the work and dedication of both, the whole family and the employees in the Montalto farm.
Recently the first steps towards horticulture were taken, thus a wide range of products are currently available, always having in mind the purpose of attaining high standards of quality.
In a framework of full respect towards the preservation of the environment, since 1997, all cultures in the Montalto farm are conducted according the Organic Farming rules with control of ECOCERT-PORTUGAL, that is, the use of chemical fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and other synthetized chemical products is not allowed.
