HISTORIAL DA PROVAM

Provam is a society of quotas, constituted by 10 wine-growers of the Sub-Região of Monção, persevering and passionate for wine things that decided, in 1992, to build a modern and functional cellar for production of wines of Alvarinho and Alvarinho/Trajadura casts.

With an installed capacity of 460.000 litters, 25 % of the grapes coming form the vineyards of the partners and the remaining grapes are bought to other growers of this sub-region. All these vineyards were selected by their viticultural and oenological potential and during the last five years they also have been studied in order to select the best ones for the elaboration of excellent and diversified Alvarinhos.

The technology of the cellar allows to raise the oenological value of the casts by the determination of the vintage in each vintage, passing through the grape harvesting made exclusively in pierced boxes of 20 kg, until the soft pressing with pellicular maceration option, must cooling and controlled temperature fermentation.

Nothing is made at random, but, in a rational way with the alliance of the highest standards of quality and authenticity.
