Famigla Valduga's wine
industry vocation came to life in the middle of Vale dos Vinhedos, which was
called Via Leopoldina over a century ago. We were moved by the desire to
prosper and to take from the soil just enough to live with dignity. Respecting
the terroir and understanding that each strand of grape develops differently
are the roots that sustain the development of our great history. A
relentless search for the true identity of each plot of land, studying
them in detail, motivates us to seek the best results. Our understanding that a
wine's soul is linked to climate, soil, topography, and ongoing wind changes
made us create the Terroir line of products. We appreciate the potential
of each varietal cultivated in the most relevant wine-producing regions of the
state of Rio Grande do Sul.
