Fitapreta Wines are wines from Alentejo that tell the story of the region in an innovative approach to recover the grape varieties and customs of Alentejo. Land of sun, granites, shale and clay, land of modern and forgotten grape varieties. A perfect bait to capture the attention of winemaker António Maçanita, who throughout his career has explored, recovered and created ways of doing things that are sometimes in line with the status quo and other times in opposition to it.
“(…) it was then that I learnt a very important lesson: you can’t make wine with the critics in mind. We should do the best we can and believe that someone out there will appreciate it.”
- António Maçanita, in Jornal de Negócios, 2021
Wines produced every year, with room to learn from our other experiences, these are our classics. Our vision of the Alentejo.
These are our experimental wines. Bold and adventurous, such as Branco de Tintas, Portugal’s first white wine from red grapes, or Branco de Talha, Portugal’s first bottled amphora white. Our Signature Series offers experimental, yet remarkable and profound wines.
Our vineyard Chão dos Eremitas, with more than 50 years old, is located in an unique and symbolic part of Alentejo: it was at the base of the Serra d’Ossa mountain that the São Paulo hermits first planted their vines. These wines reflect the Alentejo of past years.
