| The Vineyard Valley (Vale dos Vinhedos) is located in the Southern
geographic macro-region of Brazil, on the upper
hillside of the Northeast region of the State of
Rio Grande do Sul. Located at a latitude of 29o
South, this region represents the vitiviniculture
introduced by the Italian settlers, with more than
one century of winegrowing tradition. It is situated
at median altitudes, between 450 and 650 meters,
and the viticulture usually extends to the gentle
slopes of the mountain valleys.
A mild climate, as found in most of the viticulture
worldwide, with pleasant summers, however, it
is humid, making it different from the rest of
the world and giving its grapes a unique regional
characteristic.
