Tons de Duorum Colheita Red Wine

Two winemakers who have marked the history of wine in Portugal in recent decades, in two regions that the world recognizes as having high quality and personality, the Douro and the Alentejo, meet again in a project designed for the Douro, in the regions of Cima Corgo and Douro Superior, two exceptional and protected terroirs. Thus Duorum was born, a project dreamed and carried out in the millenary vineyards of the Douro. Duorum Vinhos started its activity in January 2007 and expresses the desire of João Portugal Ramos and José Maria Soares Franco to join their professional activities of winemakers in a project to produce Douro wines with unique characteristics and an international dimension.
