The Geographical Indication (IG) Lisbon is one of the most important Portuguesewine regions, in terms of vineyard area and wine production. Formed by gentlehills, of low relief, IG Lisboa extends from the capital of Portugal to the north,always along the coast, in a range not exceeding 40 km wide. Multifaceted regionencompasses several denominations of origin, ancient and modern, with distinctcharacteristics. The climate is temperate, of Atlantic influence, with relatively mildsummer, cooler and wetter in the areas closer to the sea, warmer and drier inthe areas protected by Montejunto mountain.
"Alfacinha" is a popular expression of uncertain origin used since the 20th-century to identify those born and raised in Lisbon. The first mention of thisnickname comes from "Travels in My Homeland" (1846), the emblematic work bywriter Almeida Garrett, forever linking the moniker to Lisbon natives. In additionto being Portugal's capital, Lisbon is also a wine region, and we created the brandAlfacinha to embody this territory while honoring the historic city and its people.
