V. Sericaia branco Vinhos do Alentejo

Sericaia wines are born from the need to rediscover a “terroir” with a distinct identity within the Alentejo, which would create international prominence. In 2013, Sónia Martins identified in Serra de São Mamede, in Portalegre, the perfect characteristics to start the production of Alentejo wines with an altitude and differentiation character. In the Serra de São Mamede, in fusion soils between shale, clay and granite, it managed to produce wines of an enviable minerality, standing out also for their freshness.
